Our Knowledge of Tennessee Williams

Our Knowledge of Tennessee Williams Our Knowledge of Tennessee Williams by Kimball King The Tennessee Williams Encyclopedia. Edited by Philip C. Kolin. Westport, CT: Greenwood P, 2004. xxix + 350 pages. $89.95 cloth. As editor of The Tennessee Williams Encyclopedia, Phillip Kolin has provided scholars and admirers of the late playwright with concise, readable, and eff ectively organized information, both biographical and critical. The Encyclopedia provides extensive biographical information, in- cluding entries by friends and lovers, family members and literary crit- ics, publishers, theater personalities, and other writers. There are also extremely useful production histories of Williams’ plays, including his frequently omitted one-act plays. Williams’ fi ction is also frequently dis- cussed, along with his voluminous off erings of poetry. Essays, memoirs, and signifi cant correspondence are also neatly catalogued. Possibly more fi lm adaptations of Williams’ plays were successes in the American cin- ema than those of any other playwright. A fi ne essay on these adapta- tions is, therefore, included in the book. Philip Kolin is no stranger to readers of the Southern Literary Jour- nal, which published a review of Kolin’s Confronting Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire: Essays in Critical Pluralism in 1994, the year following its publication.
