Thomas Lanier Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi, on March 26, 1911, the first son and second child of Cornelius Coffin and Edwina Dakin Williams. His mother, the daughter of a minister, was of genteel upbringing, while his father, a shoe salesman, came from a prestigious Tennessee family which included the state's first governor and first senator. At the age of 16, he encountered his first brush with the publishing world when he won third prize and received $5 for an essay, "Can a Good Wife Be a Good Sport?," in Smart Set. A year later, he published "The Vengeance of Nitocris" in Weird Tales. In 1929, he entered the University of Missouri. His success there was dubious, and in 1931 he began work for a St. Louis shoe company. It was six years later when his first play, Cairo, Shanghai, Bombay, was produced in Memphis, in many respects the true beginning of his literary and stage career. Building upon the experience he gained with his first production, Williams had two of his plays, Candles to the Sun and The Fugitive Kind, produced by Mummers of St. Louis in 1937. As the second World War loomed over the horizon, Williams found a bit of fame when he won the Group Theater prize of $100 for American Blues and received a $1,000 grant from the Authors' League of America in 1939. Battle of Angels was produced in Boston a year later. Near the close of the war in 1944, what many consider to be his finest play, The Glass Menagerie, had a very successful run in Chicago and a year later burst its way onto Broadway. Containing autobiographical elements from both his days in St. Louis as well as from his family's past in Mississippi, the play won the New York Drama Critics' Circle award as the best play of the season. Williams, at the age of 34, had etched an indelible mark among the public and among his peers.

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) Contributing Editor: Thomas P. Adler Classroom Issues and Strategies Students may tend to respond to the heroines, especially in Williams's earlier plays up through the end of the 1940s, differently from what he intended because their value system is not the same. His sensitive, poetic misfits who escape from reality into a world of illusion/art are likely to seem too remote, too soft. The very things that Williams values about themtheir grace, their gentilitynowadays may appear dispensable adjuncts of life in an age when competition and aggressiveness are valorized among both sexes. So students need to be sensitized to Williams's romantic ideals and to what he sees as the civilizing, humanizing virtues. It helps to place Williams in context as a southern dramatist, and also as one who propounds the feminizing of American culture as a counter to a society built on masculine ideals of strength and power. Students also need to understand that Williams is a "poetic" realist, not simply in his use of a lyrical rhetoric but in his handling of imagery, both verbal and visual. If they attend carefully to his command of visual stage symbolism, they can oftentimes discover the necessary clues about Williams's attitude toward his characters. Brief though it is, Williams's play is amenable to many critical approaches other than the psychological and feminist. A formalist approach might examine the way in which Williams structures his playas he later will

The dramatist would not have existed without the poet; they are both separate and indivisible. His ability to channel pain into beauty and his unflinching (and, for its time, remarkably courageous) honesty are revealed in a new light." Martin Sherman, playwright, Bent and A Madhouse in Goa Few writers achieve success in more than one genre, and yet if Tennessee Williams had never written a single play he would still be known as a distinguished poet. The excitement, compassion, lyricism, and humor that epitomize his writing for the theater are all present in his poetry. It was as a young poet that Williams first came to the attention of New Directions' founder James Laughlin, who initially presented some of Williams' verse in the New Directions anthology

3. Tennessee By Eve Berliner Rose, Rose, roses of his eyes. She was always there before him, a figure of such pathos from the beginning. They were two fragile children together taking refuge in each other's imagination and tenderness, Rose slowly retreating into dark corners, solitary and wordless, Tom gripped by his own tenuous frailties. His father, a violent, malignant alcoholic, would mock him and call him "Miss Nancy." They were perfect companions in those early days in Columbus and Canton and Clarksdale, Mississippi, where they grew up in the magical intimacy of childhood. Thomas Lanier Williams born in the rectory of his grandfather's Episcopal Church in Columbus on March 26, 1911, his sister Rose two years his elder. They would race their bikes and cut paper dolls from huge catalogue books, laugh uproariously and invent wonderful new games, her wild imagination a joyous counterpart to his own. She had a fragile unearthly prettiness to her, the long copperish curls that swung below her shoulders, sea green gray eyes, thin, delicate, immensely shy. She was always in his writing. His first poem entitled, "Kinder Garden", age 3, dedicated to Rose; his comic strip, age 9, Rose the avenging heroine on the trail of the bad guys; his first published short story, "The Vengeance of Nitocris," about an Egyptian Pharaoh and his warrior sister..

Its provocative screenplay by Richard Brooks and James Poe was adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Tennessee Williams. [It was Williams' second Pulitzer Prize win.] MGM's posters proclaimed: "ALL THE SULTRY EXPLOSIVE DRAMA OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS' PULITZER PRIZE PLAY IS NOW ON THE SCREEN." A sexually-explicit, made-for TV remake was created in 1976, starring Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, Maureen Stapleton and Laurence Olivier in the lead roles. A second made-for-TV production was co-produced by pay-cable station Showtime and PBS's American Playhouse in 1984, starred Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Lange, Rip Torn, and Kim Stanley. The film, one of the top ten box-office hits of its year, was honored with six major Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Paul Newman with his first Oscar nomination), Best Actress (Elizabeth Taylor with her second of four consecutive nominations), Best Director (Richard Brooks, who had replaced George Cukor as the film's original directorial choice), Best Adapted Screenplay (Richard Brooks and James Poe), and Best Cinematography (William H.
