"O'Neill's figures move within purposefully animated natural environments--ocean, dense forest, desert plains, the rocky soil of New England. This explores ecological settings as crucial to O'Neill's characters' ability to carry out their conscious and unconscious desires. Attention is paid to the connection of ecology and theological quest, and to evocation of an exotic, natural "other.""-- Provided by publisher.
