About the Book

About the Author

Robert Emmet Long is a nationally recognized interpreter of British and American literature, who also writes on the performing arts—both theater and films. He was born in Oswego, New York; and received his B. A. and Ph. D. degrees from Columbia University. A former college teacher, he now devotes himself wholly to writing. His articles and reviews in national magazines and newspapers—such as The Christian Science Monitor, the Saturday Review, and The Nation—number in the hundreds. His books include critical studies of Henry James, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, with subjects in the performing arts ranging from Ingmar Bergman and Merchant Ivory to Jerome Robbins and Broadway’s great choreographer-directors.
