Over a career spanning more than three decades, Howe's best-known works are ''Painting Churches'', ''Coastal Disturbances'' and ''Pride's Crossing''. Her works have won numerous awards, including the 1998 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play for ''Pride's Crossing'',〔("'Pride's Crossing' Listing, 1997" ) lortel.org, accessed September 6, 2015〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://forum-network.org/lecture/playwriting-painting-churches-one-shoe ) 〕 which was also a finalist for the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.〔("Pulitzer Prize for Drama" ) Pulitzer.org, accessed September 5, 2015〕 ''Coastal Disturbances'' was nominated for the 1987 Tony Award for Best Play.〔〔("Tina Howe Broadway (Awards)" ) Internet Broadway Database, accessed August 26, 2015〕 ==Early life== Howe was born in New York City to Quincy Howe, a radio and television newsman and Mary Post Howe, an artist.〔Brenson, Michael. ("Art Given A Role In Tina Howe's Play" ) ''The New York Times'', February 18, 1983〕 She is the granddaughter of biographer Mark Antony DeWolfe Howe and the great-granddaughter of the first Episcopal Bishop of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Howe’s parents and grandmother were essential to her success as a writer. Howe's family focused on reading and writing: "Thanksgivings and family occasions were always about, 'What are you reading, what are you writing, what are you working on, what poetry are you interested in?'" Her grandfather, M. A. DeWolfe Howe was a poet who lived to be 96; and her uncle, Mark DeWolfe Howe, was a law professor at Harvard.〔Helen Howe, The Gentle Americans: Biography of a Breed (New York: Harper & Row, 1965)〕 Her grandfather passed his love of literature on to his sons and daughters, and they did the same. When Howe was ill with hepatitis, her father visited her every day in the hospital, reading James Joyce's ''Ulysses'' to her during his lunch break.〔〔 Howe graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York in 1959, where she wrote her first play (''Closing Time'').〔 〔("Theater.
