Thomas Lanier ""Tennessee"" Williams won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945 for his ""memory"" play, ""The Glass Menagerie""; it was his first success.

His protagonist, Tom Wingfield, recalls events at his troubled home in St.

Louis, where his suffocating mother, Amanda Wingfield, badgers him to locate a ""gentleman caller"" for his sister, Laura, a shy, lame girl who occupies herself with music and a collection of glass animals.

Readers approaching this semi-autobiographical Southern Gothic drama will appreciate the quick-reference study helps offered here, such as the biographical sketch and character list.

Advanced students will value the selective critical extracts and annotated bibliography.
