Author BiographyTennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing. He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie (1944), Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Orpheus Descending (1957), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), Period of Adjustment (1960), The Night of the Iguana (1961), The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963; revised 1964) and Small Craft Warnings (1972).

Worth the buy and a good book
A great buy for a small price. For my A level exam this is incredibly useful and as a student not much had to be paid so this is really useful. New book. Everything looks perfect and good to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

DON'T TRUST THEM
Bought this book for my A Level exams- was labelled as "very good condition" and no mention anywhere that the book may have/had any markings in like notes asks highlights- which they are required to tell you. Very upset, now I have a book that I can't even use! Complete waste of money.
