Tennessee Williams
Although invariably ranked second (just behind Eugene O’Neill) among American dramatists, Tennessee Williams is indisputably the most important southern playwright yet to emerge. Born Thomas Lanier Williams, in Columbus, Mississippi, where his much loved maternal grandfather was an Episcopalian minister, by 1919 he had been transplanted with his family to St. Louis, Missouri. The contrast between these two cultures—an agrarian South that looked back nostalgically to a partly mythical past of refinement and gentility, and a forward-looking urban North that valued pragmatism and practicality over civility and beauty—would haunt Williams throughout his life, providing one of the enduring tensions in his plays.
After attending the University of Missouri and Washington University in St. Louis, Williams followed his graduation from the University of Iowa in 1938 with a period of wandering around the country and a succession of odd jobs, including an unsuccessful stint as a scriptwriter in Hollywood. One of his filmscripts, however, became the genesis for his first great theatrical success during the 1944–45 season

Like everyone else, authors are carving out a niche online for themselves. From classic writers who lived hundreds of years ago to today's most popular authors, the Web offers biographies and bibliographies for many of them. Book publishing companies are always glad to feature their authors, but some of the best sites I've found are created by educators and avid fans of specific writers. It is my hope that among these famed names you will find resources you can use in your classroom for one or more author studies this year.

Tennessee Williams - A Southern Legend Editors Note: My name is Heather Blacky. I am a senior majoring in Elementary Education at East Tennessee State University. I plan to graduate in the fall of 2000. I constructed this web page for my American Literature class. "One of America’s Greatest playwrights, and certainly the greatest ever from the South" (Mississippi Writers Page). Introduction This is the house where Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi. Williams’s first brush with fame came at the young age of 16. It was then that Williams published his essay "Can a Good Wife Be a Good Sport?" in Smart Set . Within a year he published "The Vengeance of Nitocris" in Weird Tales. A few years later, in 1929 Williams entered the University of Missouri. His educational career there was short lived, in 1931 he left college to work for a shoe company. Literary Career The true beginning of Williams’s literary career began in 1937. In Memphis his first play "Cairo, Shanghai, Bombay" was produced. A year later Williams had two more plays produced by the Mummers of St. Louis. They produced "Candles to the Sun" and "The Fugitive Kind". In 1938 Williams finished college and graduated from the University of Iowa. Later successes followed with the plays, "A Streetcar Named Desire," (1947) "Summer and Smoke," (1948) "A Rose Tattoo," (1951) "Camino Real," (1953) "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," (1955) and "Dragon Country" (1956), just to name a few. Williams even received two Pulitzer Prizes in 1948 for "A Streetcar Named Desire" and in 1955 for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". In all, Williams wrote over 14 plays, poems, and short stories.

Tennessee Williams Biography The Glass Menagerie (1945) and followed it up with such powerful plays as the Pulitzer Prize-winning Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955). Other plays include The Rose Tattoo Camino Real (1953), and The Night of the Iguana Explorations Since the late nineteenth century, an archetype, or stereotype, has been constructed of the southern woman. We see indications of that type as early as Stowe 's Uncle Tom's Cabin ; she also appears in works of Chopin Fitzgerald Faulkner , and Hellman. Ineffectual, parasitic, with their fates connected inexorably to land, money, family, and tradition, these women are often portrayed as dangerous or destructive to the people around them. Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) is both an extension of and a variation upon that type.

Unit Literature and Culture of New Orleans Prefatory Statement: New Orleans is a place where several separate cultures have grown together throughout history to create a unique city. By studying the literature, music, and art of this area, students will have a rich cultural experience. This unit will give students the opportunity to appreciate ways of life different than their own. They will be able to better understand where people are coming from by expanding their horizons. They will be able to construe what factors contribute to an area's literature and art. Of all places, New Orleans is a complementary mix of old, new, clean, dirty, rich, and poor. These juxtapositions will prove to be interesting and informative for students. Many authors have made their homes in New Orleans. For this four-week lesson, students will be taken through the world of some of these authors. They will experience poetry, short stories, drama, and biographies. The literature will be accompanied by music, art, decoration, and food from New Orleans to make the adventure complete. In the midst of these experiences will be the themes of diversity, acceptance, and respect. This unit will meet goals of students, instructor and the Minnesota Grad Standards through activities such as the analysis of narrative structure, the analysis of a literary work, and the creation of an anthology. Class Specifications/Significant Assumptions: This unit can be modified to fit any age, ability, religion, and background, depending on what literature is chosen. The particular selections in this unit are most appropriate for older students (11th or 12th graders) because of the issues and language in them. Students should have read literature in other classes that will have prepared them for knowing elements of a short story and plot diagrams. There will be brief lessons about these, but background knowledge will be beneficial. The class will also be assumed to have worked in groups, written essays, and presented information in front of a class of peers.
