Summary

The Portable Arthur Miller is a rich cross section of sixty years of writing from one of this century's most influential and humane playwrights. This classic collection, completely updated by the author together with the preeminent Miller scholar Christopher Bigsby, contains in full the masterpieces The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, and is now expanded to include his most recent play, Broken Glass, which was awarded England's prestigious Olivier Award for Best Play of 1995, as well as three other complete plays and an excerpt from a radio drama thought lost for years. An essay by Harold Clurman recognizes Miller as one of the greatest playwrights America has produced, and Bigsby's introduction evaluates his place at the fore of twentieth-century literature.
