Publisher's Synopsis
Arthur Miller's America collects new writing by leading international critics and scholars on the theater of the late icon, activist and playwright Arthur Miller, and the ways his dramatic work reflects the changing moral equations of his time. The book's original essays and interviews treat the breadth of Miller's work, including his early political writings for the campus newspaper at the University of Michigan; his famous work with John Huston, Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe on ""The Misfits""; and his signature plays like ""Death of a Salesman"" and ""All My Sons"". The many dimensions of Miller's work that are explored here together reveal how Miller shaped an American theater that represents the volatile culture from which it derives its rich, imaginative life.
