The Playwright Tennessee Williams Tennessee Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams, the second child of three, in Columbus, Mississippi on March 26, 1911. Tom, as he was known for most of his life, earned the nickname Tennessee from a college roommate who attributed the name, jokingly to Williams heritage as a Tennessee pioneer. Tennessee Williams family life was full of tension and despair. His parents often engaged in violent arguments that frightened his older sister, Rose, so much that one evening she went running out of the house. His father, Cornelius, was a stern businessman who managed a shoe warehouse. Cornelius’ bouts with drinking and gambling (habits that later ailed Tennessee) sent rumors about the family throughout the towns in which they lived (Williams moved 16 times in 15 years). His mother, who is often compared to the controlling Amanda in The Glass Menagerie , allowed Rose’s doctor to perform a frontal lobotomy on Rose - an event that greatly disturbed Williams who cared for Rose throughout most of her adult life. However, Tennessee, Rose and his brother Walter remained close to their mother, Edwina, often encouraging her to leave their abusive father. In 1931, Williams was admitted to the University of Missouri where he saw a production of Ibsen’s

Tennessee Williams Thomas Lanier ("Tennessee") Williams , b. Columbus, Miss., Mar. 26, 1911, d. Feb. 25, 1983, was an outstanding American playwright and the author of film scripts, short stories, novels, and verse. He was known for his innovations in theatrical technique, as well as for his Southern idioms, compelling dialogue, and themes thatfor their timeoften seemed strange or shocking. Williams vividly conveyed the sexual tensions and suppressed violence of his tormented characters, usually with compassion as well as irony. He won Pulitzer Prizes for A Streetcar Named Desire and CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. Many believed that THE GLASS MENAGERIE deserved one as well. During the Depression Williams worked as a factory hand and, after attending the University of Missouri and Washington University, graduated from the University of Iowa in 1938. Writing under his nickname, Tennessee, he began his career auspiciously with a Group Theater award (1939) for four one-act plays later published (1948) under the collective title American Blues. After a disappointment in his first professional production, Battle of Angels (1940), Williams combined semiautobiographical material with innovative technique in The Glass Menagerie (1945; film, 1950), and with this secured both that year's New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and lasting fame in the American theater. Themes of Sexual Frustration The unsuccessful dramatization of a D. H. Lawrence story, You Touched Me! (1945), on which Williams collaborated with Donald Windham, was followed by the first of a series of plays dealing with sexual frustration, A Streetcar Named Desire (1947; film, 1951), the most effective of all Williams's works. A compelling portrait of personal disintegration, this drama, like The Glass Menagerie and most of Williams's subsequent plays, has a cast of naturalistic characters whose personalities are illuminated by imaginative staging. Williams studied the problems of solitary women in two more plays: Summer and Smoke (1948; revised as The Eccentricities of a Nightingale, 1965), a melodrama in which a Southern spinster attempts to ignore the sensual side of her nature, and The Rose Tattoo (1951; film, 1955), a lusty comedy in which a mature widow, after a long inner struggle, rediscovers love.

TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (1911-1983) "The Rose Tattoo (A Play in Three Parts)." Carbon typescript signed, dated New York, October, 1950, 140 pages. "The Rose Tattoo" opened on Broadway in February 1951 and ran for 300 performances. Set in a Sicilian community on the gulf coast, the play reflects Williams' admiration of the warmth and lustiness of the Italian people. This fourth draft is inscribed by the playwright on the title page, "My Copy of script used during rehearsals and Chicago try-out." There are holograph corrections and annotations throughout the playscript in Williams' and an unknown hand. The text of this playscript differs significantly from the published version (New York: New Directions, 1951). The typescript forms a part of a collection of manuscripts, correspondence and books by and about Tennessee Williams formed by Norman Unger and now in the University of Delaware Library. Nearly 300 volumes and over 1,500 pages of manuscript material document Williams' stage and screen careers, as well as his international influence and reputation.

Tennessee Williams Thomas Lanier Williams was born on March 26, 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi. The second of three children, his family life was full of tension. His parents, a shoe salesman and the daughter of a minister, often engaged in violent arguments that frightened his sister Rose. In 1927, Williams got his first taste of literary fame when he took third place in a national essay contest sponsored by The Smart Set magazine. In 1929, he was admitted to the University of Missouri where he saw a production of Henrik Ibsen 's Ghosts and decided to become a playwright. But his degree was interrupted when his father forced him to withdraw from college and work at the International Shoe Company. There he worked with a young man named Stanley Kowalski who would later resurface as a character in A Streetcar Named Desire Eventually, Tom returned to school. In 1937, he had two of his plays ( Candles to the Sun and The Fugitive Kind ) produced by Mummers of St. Louis, and in 1938, he graduated from the University of Iowa. After failing to find work in Chicago, he moved to New Orleans and changed his name from "Tom" to "Tennessee" which was the state of his father's birth.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) - original name Thomas Lanier Williams One of the most prominent playwrights in United States after World War II. After a severe mental and physical breakdown in the 1960s, Williams's plays were more or less unsuccessful. Williams examined in his controversial and poetic plays turbulent emotional and sexual forces, physical and spiritual needs, and created such unforgettable characters as Maggie in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (195) and Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1947). "There are no 'good' or 'bad' people. Some are a little better or a little worse but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice. A blindness to what is going on in each other's hearts. Stanley sees Blanche not as a desperate, driven creature backed into a last corner to make a last desperate stand - but as a calculating bitch with 'round heels'.... Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see each other in life." (Tennessee Williams in Elia Kazan's autobiography A Life Thomas Lanier Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi. His mother, the former Edwina Estelle Dakin, was the daughter of an Episcopalian clergyman. She was always proud to say, "The Dakins could trace themselves back to the Normans." Williams's father, Cornelius Coffin Williams, was a travelling salesman for a shoe company. He could trace his ancestry back to the French Huguenots, and to politicians and soldiers in North Carolina and Tennessee. According to William's brother Dakin, their father was very bombastic, he cursed a lot and there was a great deal of coldness between him and his son, who loved books but was not interested in sports.

H e was brilliant and prolific, breathing life and passion into such memorable characters as Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski in his critically acclaimed A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. And like them, he was troubled and self-destructive, an abuser of alcohol and drugs. He was awarded four Drama Critic Circle Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was derided by critics and blacklisted by Roman Catholic Cardinal Spellman, who condemned one of his scripts as "revolting, deplorable, morally repellent, offensive to Christian standards of decency." He was Tennessee Williams, one of the greatest playwrights in American history. Born Thomas Lanier Williams in Mississippi in 1914, Tennessee was the son of a shoe company executive and a Southern belle. Williams described his childhood in Mississippi as happy and carefree. This sense of belonging and comfort were lost, however, when his family moved to the urban environment of St. Louis, Missouri. It was there he began to look inward, and to write— "because I found life unsatisfactory." Williams’ early adult years were occupied with attending college at three different universities, a brief stint working at his father’s shoe company, and a move to New Orleans, which began a lifelong love of the city and set the locale for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.
