Arthur Miller was one of the major American dramatists of the
twentieth century, clearly ranking with other truly great American
playwrights, including Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and
Edward Albee. The centennial of Miller's birth in New York City on
October 17, 1915 was celebrated around the world with a panoply of
staged productions, theatrical events, media documentaries, and
academic conferences.Miller earned his reputation during a career
of more than seventy years, in which he achieved critical success
in the 1940s and 1950s with the dramas All My Sons, Death of a
Salesman, The Crucible and A View from the Bridge. He was also
notable for his refusal to "name names at his appearance before the
House Un-American Activities Committee", his marriage to the film
actress Marilyn Monroe, and his spell as president of the literary
organization, International P.E.N. Arthur Miller was not only a
literary giant, but also one of the more significant political,
cultural, and social figures of his time. He was a man of
conviction and integrity who frequently took stands, popular and
unpopular, on the ethical issues that engaged societies throughout
the world. This collection includes eclectic essays from Miller
scholars who provide detailed discussions of text and performance,
of Miller as a political and cultural figure, and of his connection
to other playwrights. The contributions explore the trajectory of
Miller's career, his most famous and frequently produced works,
such as Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, the dramas of his
later career, and his fiction. The collection appeals to a broad
American and international audience and a cross-section of readers,
including undergraduates, graduates, emerging scholars, drama and
theatre specialists, as well as theatre-goers who flock to revivals
of Miller's plays.
