The Collected Essays of Arthur Miller

This comprehensive volume brings together essays by one of the most influential literary, cultural and intellectual voices of our time: Arthur Miller. Arranged chronologically from 1944 to 2000, these writings take the reader on a whirlwind tour of modern history alongside offering a remarkable record of Miller''s views on theater. They give eloquent expression to his belief in ''the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone''. Published with the essays are articles that Miller had written and in-depth interviews he has given.This collection features material from two earlier publications: E es Down the Corridor and The Theater Essays of Arthur Miller. It is edited and features a new introduction by Matthew Roudane, Regents Professor of American Drama at Georgia State University. '' 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>
