Introduced to the American theater such previously taboo subjects as homosexuality, nymphomania, castration, and cannibalism. Established his reputation with the highly autobiographical The Glass Menagerie (1944), and confirmed his place in American drama with A Streetcar Named Desire (1947, Pulitzer). Among his other plays were Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955, Pulitzer), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), Suddenly Last Summer (1958), and The Night of the Iguana (1961).
Regarded by many as America's greatest dramatist after Eugene O'Neill.
