{"product_id":"robert-penn-warrens-all-the-kings-men-three-stage-versions-9780820320977","title":"Robert Penn Warren's \"All the King's Men\": Three Stage Versions","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel \u003ci\u003eAll the King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the undisputed classics of American literature. Fifty years after the novel's publication, Warren's characters still stand as powerful representations of the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in positions of power. \u003ci\u003eAll the King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e had its genesis in Warren's stage play \u003ci\u003eProud Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e, unpublished in his lifetime. He also wrote a subsequent unpublished play titled \u003ci\u003eWillie Stark: His Rise and Fall\u003c\/i\u003e and a later dramatic version of the novel that shared the title \u003ci\u003eAll the King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume is the first to collect all three dramatic texts and to publish \u003ci\u003eProud Flesh and Willie Stark\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eProud Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e is particularly fascinating for what it reveals about the development of \u003ci\u003eAll the King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e and Warren's changing perceptions of its characters and themes. The other plays, as post-novel writings, provide a forum for Warren to clarify his intentions in the novel. The editors' introduction to this collection reviews the composition history of the works and their relationship to the novel and to each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe new perspectives on Warren's writing presented in \u003ci\u003eRobert Penn Warren's \"All the King's Men\" Three Stage Versions\u003c\/i\u003e provide a glimpse into a creative mind struggling with a compelling story and offer readers another way of looking at this American classic. This book is an essential reference in Warren studies that will give students of \u003ci\u003eAll the King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e another context from which to consider Warren's novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James A.
