    Book description

    Arthur Miller is regarded as one of the most important playwrights of the twentieth century. His work is performed and studied around the world and this Companion provides an introduction to this influential dramatist. In addition to analyses of Miller's plays, including All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible, his work is also placed within the context of the social and political climate of the time. The impact of the Depression, the Holocaust, and McCarthyism are explored in light of the plays, and the contributors also discuss Miller's fiction and work in film. In the last twenty years, Miller has written a host of new plays and the Companion also examines these works, including The Ride Down Mount Morgan, The Last Yankee, and Broken Glass. The volume closes with a bibliographic essay which reviews the key studies of Miller. It also contains a detailed chronology of Miller's work and illustrations from important productions.

    Reviews

    ‘Given Miller’s importance … the appearance of this companion is likely to be considered a welcome addition to the range of general books on the playwright.’

    Darryll Grantley Source: Theatre Research International

    ‘ … well-focused and incisive … thought-provoking and will be invaluable to students. Overall [this is a] welcome addition to library bookshelves.’

    Source: New Theatre Quarterly

    ‘Common to all essays is an obvious admiration and respect for the man and his art. Another commonality , and also delight, is the frequent quoting of Arthur Miller himself … ’
