With no uniquely American tradition to guide him, O'Neill introduced various dramatic techniques, which subsequently became staples of the US theater. By 1914 he had written 12 one-act and two long plays. Of this early work, only <i>Thirst and Other One Act Plays</i> (1914) was originally published. From this point on, O'Neill's work falls roughly into three phases: the early plays, written from 1914 to 1921 (<i>The Long Voyage Home</i>, <i>The Moon of the Caribbees</i>, <i>Beyond the Horizon</i>, <i>Anna Christie</i>); a variety of full-length plays for Broadway (<i>Desire Under the Elms</i>, <i>Great God Brown</i>, <i>Ah, Wilderness!</i>); and the last, great plays, written between 1938 and his death (<i>The Iceman Cometh</i>, <i>A Moon for the Misbegotten</i>). O'Neill is a four-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1936.
