Abstract:

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983), one of the distinguished American dramatists in twentieth century, covered a life span of nearly seven decades. He belonged to an unsettled family arising out of parental differences towards life. He suffered much - owing apparently to the socio-economic consequences of two World Wars and the Great Economic Depression of the 1930s. Further, an early childhood plagued by illness - a near-fatal bout of diphtheria left him in later days lacking in boyish sprightly robustness.
