Thornton Wilder Vol. 2: Short Plays

Thornton Wilder's short plays are published for the first time in two volumes.

This second volume collects his first published book of plays, The Angel that Troubled the Waters and Other Plays, with two previously unpublished plays - The Marriage We Deplore and The Unerring Instinct.

Also included are Wilder's last major full-length play, The Alcestiad, with its companion satyr play, The Drunken Sisters; two scenes from his unfinished play, The Emporium, accompanied by his journal entries on the work's progress; and essays by the author and his sister.
