This Student Edition of Broken Glass is perfect for students of
literature and drama and offers an unrivalled and comprehensive
guide to Miller's play. It features an extensive introduction by
Alan Ackerman which includes a chronology of Miller's life and
times, a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters,
themes, language, context and production history of the play.
Together with over twenty questions for further study and detailed
notes on words and phrases from the text, this is the definitive
edition of the play. Set in Brooklyn in 1938, Broken Glass is
Miller's moving study of marital relations, Jewish identity and
anti-Semitism that won the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1994.
Sylvia Gellburg is stricken by a mysterious paralysis in her legs
for which the doctor can find no cause. He soon realises that she
is obsessed by the devastating news from Germany, where government
thugs have begun smashing Jewish stores. But through a series of
meetings with her husband Phillip he learns that this experience is
intermeshed with their strange relationship and the deceptions and
hostilities that lie at the heart of their marriage. Professor Alan
Acklerman's expertly edited edition of the play provides a
wide-ranging study of Kristallnacht, and of American and European
responses to the Holocaust, the situation of Jews in America from
the 1930s to the 1990s, the Great Depression and other Holocaust
and Jewish drama.
