Desire Under the Elms

Eugene O'Neill · Boni & Liveright · 1925

The true first is the 1925 Boni & Liveright first separate edition. The play was written and first produced in late 1924, so it could not have appeared in the two-volume Complete Works of 1924; the earlier Complete Works precedence note was incorrect and has been removed.
