Witty and buoyant comedy of manners is brilliantly plotted from its effervescent first act to its hilarious denouement, and filled with some of literature's most famous epigrams. Widely considered Wilde's most perfect work, the play is reprinted here from an authoritative early British edition. Note to the Dover Edition.

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life!
Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the
dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name?
I have given you my soul; leave me my name! In a small tight-knit
community, gossip and rumour spread like wildfire, inflaming
personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and
vengeance. The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of
the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of
Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and
repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the
play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the
play opened on Broadway in 1953. This new edition includes an
introduction by Soyica Diggs Colbert, that explores the play's
production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic
debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student
exploring The Crucible.
//Kabbo op die ysterspoor bied ’n voorstelling van die
titelkarakter, 'n sjamaan, se verplasing na die groot god Eloib se
werklikhei. Die eenman-drama handel oor die spirituele wysheid van
die Boesmans en herinner die gehoor daaraan dat voorstellings van
diaspora in die Afrikaanse drama nie slegs Afrikaners en hul bande
met ’n tuisland, gasheerland en postkolonie betrek nie.
