Published in 1927 and reprinted in 1941, this biography of a contemporary of Eugene O'Neill is the work of Cook’s third wife, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Susan Glaspell. It traces Cook’s lifelong search for self, a search that took him from his birthplace in Davenport, Iowa, to New York to Delphi, from the Monist Society to the Provincetown Players to the antiquity of Greece. Part of Cook’s story is told by excerpts from the journals that he kept.
