A great theatre critic brings twentieth-century playwright Arthur Miller's dramatic story to life with bold and revealing new insights. Distinguished theatre critic John Lahr brings unique perspective to the life of Arthur Miller (1915-2005), the playwright who almost single-handedly propelled twentieth-century American theatre into a new level of cultural sophistication. Organized around the fault lines of Miller's life - his family, the Great Depression, the rise of fascism, Elia Kazan and the House Committee on Un-American Activities, Marilyn Monroe, Vietnam, and the rise and fall of Miller's role as a public intellectual - this book demonstrates the synergy between Arthur Miller's psychology and his plays.
