The Crucible is Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. This definitive critical edition of the play features a comprehensive commentary, notes and questions prepared by one of the leading international Miller experts in consultation with the author's estate.
Arthur Miller (1915-2005) was arguably the greatest American playwright of the twentieth century. Six volumes of his plays and a volume of his theatre essays are published by Methuen Drama. Susan C. W. Abbotson is Assistant Professor of Dramatic Literature at Rhode Island College, USA.
'The uniform structure and consistent approach eveident in these
[first] four volumes make them readable and accessible to students
and scholars alike and guarantee that these editions will certainly
persist as invaluable tools for those who both enjoy Miller as a
dramatist and study him as a significant social and American
spokesperson.'
