IN THIS ISSUE
The personal diaries of Edwina Dakin Williams, Tennessee Williams's strong-willed and long-suffering mother, take center stage. Housed in HNOC's Fred W. Todd Tennessee Williams Collection and published together in full for the first time, Edwina's entries offer a powerful view of young Tom Williams's tumultuous, sometimes violent childhood. John S. Bak's in-depth introduction and notes provide crucial context as readers immerse themselves in the raw material that Williams would eventually transform into The Glass Menagerie's unforgettable Amanda Wingfield.
