SUMMARY:Eugene O’Neill and Long Day’s Journey Into Night at Tao House—a California Story
DESCRIPTION:Few people realize that Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night\, which won the 1956 Pulitzer Prize\, was written in California in 1939-41. After winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936\, O’Neill and his third wife\, the actress Carlotta Monterey\, built Tao House just outside Danville\, California. Realizing that his writing career was coming to an end\, due to illness\, he needed to find a way—literally\, the tao—to write the most personal and difficult plays he had ever attempted\, also including The Iceman Cometh and A Touch of the Poet. \nTao House was inspired by Chinese principles\, which his California-born wife helped to implement in an effort to create a setting that was conducive to his writing these consummate works. It also reflects the Spanish colonial history of California. William Davies King’s new book argues that Long Day’s Journey\, O’Neill’s most deeply autobiographical play\, emerges from the tao of that house and could only have been written then and there—in that convergence of Irish\, Spanish\, and Chinese cultures and on the verge of World War II. \nKing’s book adopts an unusual form\, using the diaries of Eugene and Carlotta\, to suggest that the play might be read as a product of a marriage that was soon to go haywire but for a brief moment allowed for the creation of a work of genius\, which was\, in effect\, the genius of Tao House. Long Day’s Journey was only published and produced after O’Neill’s death\, thirteen years it was written\, but it has been performed many times worldwide by the finest actors\, and it remains the quintessential American play. Tao House has been a National Historic Site\, maintained by the National Park Service\, for fifty years. Professor King will take us into the site and into the play and into the marriage\, and he will show us many items from his extensive collection of photographs and documents of Eugene and Carlotta O’Neill. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by William Davies King\, author\, editor\, scholar\, and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Theater and Dance\, University of California Santa Barbara\, California. \nTo. register\, click here.

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Era Zoom: Humanist Gifts of Plutarch Texts to Queen Mary I
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nAugust 10 FABS Handpress Era Group: “Humanist Gifts of Plutarch Texts to Queen Mary I” with historian Valerie Schutte. Mary Tudor has always enjoyed a reputation of having received a humanist education. Of the antique texts associated with Mary\, the ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch stands out. Mary was advised to follow many of Plutarch’s precepts\, and received dedications of three Plutarch translations. This talk will look at the role of Plutarch in Mary’s education and in the Tudor court. To receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org. \nValerie Schutte is a historian of Tudor England\, with a particular focus on royal women and book history. She has published three monographs:Mary I and the Art of Book Dedications: Royal Women\, Power\, and Persuasion (2015); Princesses Mary and Elizabeth Tudor and the Gift Book Exchange (2021); and Anne of Cleves: The Historical and Cultural Legacy of a Queen\, which was just published with Routledge in July 2026. She has edited or co-edited seven volumes on Mary I\, Shakespeare\, and queenship. She consulted on the recent Six Lives exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Valerie is currently editing volumes on Tudor myths\, Mary I and humanism\, adaptations of the Tudors\, and the Tudors represented in public and heritage sites. She is currently working on a short form monograph on Queen Mary I’s self-fashioning through the use of her coronation ring.
