Arthur Miller stands among the foremost playwrights of the twentieth century, renowned for his incisive portrayals of the American experience and the moral struggles at its core.

    Book SynopsisThe first monograph on the work of the American painter Arthur Osver (1912-2006), this publication explores Osver's entire oeuvre, from early urban realism to decades of engagement with abstraction. His long and productive career took him from Chicago to New York to Europe and back, interweaving with the art of his time, and his paintings have been collected and exhibited all over the world. Nevertheless, he remained firmly rooted in the American Midwest, settling in St. Louis to teach and paint from 1960 until his death in 2006. Beautifully designed and printed, this book includes 80 full-color plates of Osver's work throughout his life as well as an illustrated biography and selections from an interview with the artist from the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.

    Book SynopsisIt is Mr. Miller''s notion, potentially a great one, that the Baums'' story can help tell the story of America itself during that traumatic era.'NEW YORK TIMESWhen the stock market crashes, the once-financially comfortable Baum family lose everything and are forced to leave their lofty home in Manhattan to live with relatives in Brooklyn: how can their pride, purpose and artistic endeavours survive such a sudden and shocking reversal of fortune?A sweeping, hard-hitting look at the Great Depression of the 1930s, The American Clock is a vaudevillian celebration of American resilience and optimism in the face of national crisis, and was performed on Broadway in 1980.This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Jane K. Dominik, with commentary and notes that explore the play''s production history (including excerpts from interviews with designers of the 1980 Broadway production) as well as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround it.Trade ReviewThis panoramic 1980 play about America during the Great Depression [is] described as “a vaudeville” [and] it shows how the nation’s built-in optimism came up against economic reality ... The play, which combines the texture of despair with a residual hope epitomised in the line “a country can’t just die”, shows just how much the 30s shaped Miller’s artistic imagination. ... It shows [Miller's] enduring capacity to capture the state of a troubled nation. -- Michael Billington * Guardian *The piece serves as a warning from history ... but there’s nothing dusty or dutifully clock-watching about it ... [Miller] billed the show as a “vaudeville”, likened it to a mural – and that gives him a means of pushing out across the nation, giving voice to a chorus of bewilderment, as the banks fail, the bailiffs call, the crops rot, and the air hangs heavy with resentment and revolutionary fervour. Yet swimming amid the tide of acrimony, there’s stoical humour, resilient American optimism and even young romantic love ... [The play feels] eerily up to-the-moment and [serves] as an invaluable reminder of how an economic shock can change a country forever. -- Dominic Cavendish * Daily Telegraph *No 20th-century playwright was more gifted at depicting the downsides of the American dream than Arthur Miller -- Dominic Maxwell * The Times *Frequently magnificent and ... also ... nauseatingly prescient. [The play's] kaleidoscopic vision of an advanced society sleepwalking into an essentially self-inflicted disaster is certainly painfully relevant to Britain’s current interests. ...It’s a powerful, poignant and frequently enlightening journey ... This strange, flawed forgotten play is the most relevant piece of political theatre in town. -- Andrzej Lukowski * Time Out *Table of ContentsCHRONOLOGY COMMENTARY Historical, social and cultural contexts Genre and themes Play as performance Production history Academic debate Behind the scenes Further study PLAY TEXT NOTES

Justly celebrated as one of the most famous dramatisations of the failure of the American Dream, the play''s moral and political purpose is perfectly counterbalanced by a powerful and moving human drama of a man trying to make his way in the world and of the human flaws that lead to the shattering of his family and of their figurehead.Death of a Salesman is Miller''s tragic masterpiece and considered one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century.

The answer is Kristallnacht, the horrific, anti-Semitic event occurring halfway around the world. As the Gellburgs reckon with this pogrom and with the breakdown of their own marriage, a terrifying thought emerges: will the Jewish people ever be able to avoid persecution?Broken Glass is one of Miller's most moving and personal works, touching on themes of Jewish identity and anti-Semitism, winning him the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1994.This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Ambika Singh, and Nupur Tandon, with commentary and notes that explore the play''s production history (including excerpts from anTrade ReviewPart psychological detective story and part political drama ...

Taking up the theme of individual responsibility from his earlier work, this volume also contains an introduction from Miller himself, along with two of his screenplays. One of Miller's most personal plays, After the Fall (1964) takes place almost entirely inside the mind of the play''s protagonist, who is often read as a stand-in for the playwright himself, and touches on themes of the Holocaust, McCarthyism and inherited sin. This was followed by Miller''s largely forgotten masterpiece, Incident at Vichy (1964): a prescient examination of the evil that exists in us all, inspired by a real-life incident in France in which a Gentile gave a Jew his identity pass during a check.

This is more than a writer''s craft, it is a psychological and moral openness to humanity, an act not of imitating, but of sharing.

It also features two of his contemporary shorter plays, I Can''t Remember Anything and Clara, first presented on a double bill as Danger! Memory. The latter focus on the importance and dangers of remembering the past, while the early plays, written at the time of the Second World War, mark the emergence of a drama in which public issues are rooted in private anxieties and c

    Book SynopsisArthur Miller was born on 17 October 1915 in Harlem, New York City. He was arguably the greatest American playwright of the twentieth century, his work including plays such as All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949), The Crucible (1953), and A View from the Bridge (1955). In addition to the plays, his many other books included fiction, essays and the autobiography Time Bends. He died in 2005 at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut.Dr Matthew Roudané is Professor of English and Chair at Georgia State University, USA.Trade Review[A] prodigious collection ... combin[ing] Miller's theatre essays, his analytical musings ... his satires ... and his autobiographical reflections. * Times Literary Supplement *In reading this definitive collection of the playwright's pieces, covering some thirty years, and subjects ranging from Willy Loman's fall to After The Fall, from Ibsen to O'Neill, from the commercial hit-flop approach to subsidised theatre, you are exhilaratingly aware of a social critic, as well as playwright, who knows what he's about. -- Studs Terkel * Chicago Tribune, on The Theatre Essays of Arthur Miller *A book that is guaranteed to please anyone lucky enough to buy or receive a copy ...

The strengths of the collection are Roudané’s careful selection of essays and their organization. * The Arthur Miller Journal *Arthur Miller understands that serious writing is a social act as well as an aesthetic one, that political involvement comes with the territory. A writer's work and his actions should be of the same cloth, after all. His plays and his conscience are a cold burning force. * Edward Albee *

    Book SynopsisFor Arthur Miller's centennial year, The Library of America and editor Tony Kushner present the final volume in the definitive collected edition of the essential American dramatist. Here are eleven masterful, haunting, funny, and provocative later plays, from the double-bill Danger: Memory (1987) to Finishing the Picture (2004), Miller’s final stage work, based loosely on events around the filming of The Misfits, in 1960, with Marilyn Monroe. In between, Miller revisits the perennially rich themes that define his work—the vagaries of fate and chance, the press of public events on private lives—with such plays as The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, The Last Yankee, Broken Glass, Mr. Peters’ Connections, and Resurrection Blues. Also presented in the volume are the early play The Golden Years, about the conquest of Mexico, which Miller revised for its first production in 1987; several shorter one-act plays and never-before-published early works and radio plays; and a selection of Miller’s incisive prose reflections on his art, among them “On Screenwriting and Language” and “About Theatre Language.”LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

    Book SynopsisThe extraordinary story of the women's orchestra in Auschwitz, originally filmed for television with Vanessa Redgrave, and adapted for the stage by Miller himself. Fania Fénelon, a Parisian singer, is arrested by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz. There, she finds herself swept into the orchestra, composed entirely of female prisoners and founded as entertainment for the camp commandants. As long as the orchestra continues to find favour, its members will be spared the gas chambers. But Fania is struggling with the corruption of what she holds most sacred in the world – her music – and the morals of the orchestra members are being ground down every day. They are, quite literally, playing for time. Arthur Miller's stageplay Playing for Time is adapted from the 1980 CBS television film, written by Miller himself, and based on acclaimed musician Fania Fénelon's autobiography The Musicians of Auschwitz. The television film starred Vanessa Redgrave as Fénelon. The stageplay was first staged at 1-Act Theatre, San Francisco, in 1985.Trade Review'Homing in, like many of Miller's other works, on an individual standing alone, and undergoing extreme dilemmas of personal conscience in the face of a system run mad' * Independent *

    Book SynopsisQuizá algo que nadie puede negarle a Arthur Miller es haber sido una de las grandes voces críticas del siglo XX, de los pocos que han sido consecuentes con la idea de que el teatro debe ser un lugar desde el que se remueven y azotan conciencias y se analiza la manera en que vivimos. Pero Miller nunca recurre a sermones y convierte siempre la "percepción moral" en forma dramática a través de personajes claramente individualizados. Testigo de excepción de hechos importantes del siglo XX, la Gran Depresión de los años 30, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Guerra Fría, el maccarthysmo, la guerra de Vietnam, el derrumbe del comunismo e incluso la caída de las Torres Gemelas, sobre todos ellos ha expresado su punto de vista desde la creación dramática o desde sus escritos teóricos o periodísticos."La muerte de un viajante" está unánimemente considerada la obra cumbre de Arthur Miller. La fuerza de la historia reside tanto en lo que cuenta como en la manera de contarlo. La obra nos relata las últimas veinticuatro horas en la vida de un viajante de sesenta y tres años llamado Willy Loman, con un magistral retrato de unos personajes que, siendo portavoces de una época, son por encima de todo únicos y singulares, en una atmósfera onírica, inquietante y emotiva.

    Book SynopsisEl crisol puede enmarcarse en la categoría de teatro político, por un lado, y teatro histórico, por otro. Ambientada en las colonias inglesas en el Nuevo Mundo, a finales del siglo XVII, la obra no habría sido escrita de no ser por otro momento histórico: lo que dos siglo y medio después estaba aconteciendo en Estados Unidos y en el mundo, justo en los albores de la conocida como Guerra Fría. Otra ?caza de brujas?, la que tuvo lugar a principios de los años 50 del pasado siglo, sin duda una de las más conocidas, que el propio Miller sufrió y durante la que escribió El crisol. Los acontecimientos que se produjeron en Salem, Massachussets, en 1692, durante los cuales casi doscientas personas fueron acusadas de practicar la brujería, y que terminaron con la ejecución de varios inocentes, son una manifestación perversa del pánico de las autoridades ante la pérdida de poder y su empeño por restaurarlo. Lo que empezó siendo un juego de niñas terminó convirtiéndose en un instrumento para hacer volver a los colonos al redil de la fe y las buenas costumbres, estableciendo una suerte de imperio del terror. El paralelismo entre Salem y los albores de la Guerra fría figura en el mapa de nuestra conciencia histórica gracias a la obra del genial dramaturgo norteamericano.

    Book Synopsis Arthur Miller , nuestro reciente Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2002, no sólo es el dramaturgo norteamericano más importante del siglo XX, sino también uno de los intelectuales más prestigiosos de Estados Unidos. En Al correr de los años reúne, por primera vez en forma de libro, un conjunto deslumbrante de cuarenta y cuatro ensayos y reportajes, escritos entre 1944 y 2001, en torno a la política y la historia, el teatro y la literatura, así como textos autobiográficos y relatos de viajes, editados y prologados por el experto en su obra Stephen Centola.Los ensayos recorren los momentos más significativos de nuestra frenética historia moderna: el Holocausto y los crímenes de guerra nazis, el macartismo, Vietnam, el caso Watergate, la caída del Muro de Berlín, el escándalo Lewinsky o el polémico triunfo electoral de Bush. Brillante observador y comentarista social y político, Miller también analiza con clarividencia asuntos menores como la censura, la delincuencia o la pena de muerte. Revela asimismo sus grandes dotes de crítico literario, de satírico mordaz y de viajero, como cuando relata sus estancias en China, su visita con Inge Morath a la Ópera de Tashkent o el viaje con Harold Pinter a Turquía, y los encuentros con Nelson Mandela y con Lucky Luciano. Especialmente emotivos son los relatos en los que Miller aborda su asombrosa vida dentro y fuera del teatro, al que también se refiere a propósito de autores contemporáneos y de sus propios dramas, entre otros, Las brujas de Salem , en una conferencia inédita hasta ahora, y Muerte de un viajante (Marginales 156 y 188).

    Book SynopsisLos últimos y más nostágicos relatos de uno de los grandes escritores norteamericanos.Una profunda nostalgia destila Presencia, una selección de relatos escritos por Arthur Miller en los últimos años de su vida y aparecidos en publicaciones como The New Yorker, Harper?s o Esquire. Los cuentos se ordenan dibujando el arco completo de una vida: desde el despertar sexual de un joven de Brooklyn, pasando por las desgracias maritales de un escritor que intenta recobrar su talento escribiendo sobre la piel de una mujer desnuda, hasta llegar a las cavilaciones junto a la playa de un anciano. Narra también la angustia de un bailarín de claqué judío que tiene que actuar ante Hitler... y lo cautiva; o la fascinación que sobre un hombre de mediana edad ejercen Haití y, en particular, uno de sus habitantes, un emprendedor que quiere aportar su grano de arena para librar al país de la pobreza. Estos magistrales ejercicios de memoria recogen momentos de desdicha o de algo parecido a la felicidad de unos personajes desplazados a los márgenes de la vida. Sin duda, Miller cierra su obra con leves notas otoñales que, sin embargo, a veces tienen una luminosidad estival: el legado memorable de una obra viva.

Porque En el punto de mira , que, según el propio Miller, escribió con una sensación de urgencia en el mismo año en que terminaba la segunda guerra mundial, ha ido adquiriendo con el tiempo ?como suele ocurrir con las grandes obras literarias? un sentido más amplio, premonitorio, admonitorio incluso.Cuando el señor Newman fue perdiendo la visión y se compró unas gafas, sus amigos y conocidos empezaron a tratarlo con reserva y hasta con suspicacia. Y es que, de pronto, el aspecto del señor Newman pasó a ser el de un judío, aunque ni él ni la gente a su alrededor jamás hubieran reparado antes en ello.
