The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone by Tennessee Williams Paperback novel 1993 New Directions ND Bibelot The story of a wealthy, drifting 50ish American widow, and former famous stage beauty. The novel opens after her husband's death and her retirement from the theatre, as Mrs. Stone is adjusting to her aimless new life in Rome and to aging. ("The knowledge that her beauty was lost had come upon her recently and it was still occasionally forgotten.") Williams charts her drift into an affair with a cruel young gigolo "As compelling, as fascinating, and as technically skilled as his plays." (Publishers Weekly) In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame. Originally published in 1950, Williams wrote The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone in the late 1940s while in Rome following the success of A Streetcar Named Desire.
