Overview

Interviews Arthur Miller at 100: a “loving embrace of humanity’s frailties”

Interviews Laurence Senelick on the plays of Arthur Miller’s middle phase, experimentalism in theater, and (of course) Marilyn Monroe

To celebrate Arthur Miller’s centennial year in 2015, The Library of America and acclaimed playwright Tony Kushner present a definitive three-volume edition of his collected plays—all the works that established him as the indispensable voice of the twentieth-century stage—in a deluxe boxed set. Here are All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The American Clock, Broken Glass, Finishing the Picture, and many other plays, along with Miller’s novella The Misfits, his introductions to and essays about his work, and a eight rediscovered stage and radio plays from the 1930s and 40s published here for the first time. As a special feature, the boxed set also includes an appreciation by Tony Kushner.

Tony Kushner, editor, is one of America’s most acclaimed playwrights. He has won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (for Angels in America: Millennium Approaches), two Tony Awards for Best Play, two Obie Awards, and two Drama Desk Awards; his screenplay for the film Lincoln was nominated for an Academy Award. Mr. Kushner’s writings have appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, The Nation, and The Advocate.

Each Library of America series volume is printed on acid-free paper and features Smyth-sewn binding, a full cloth cover, and a ribbon marker.

Arthur Miller: Collected Plays 1944–1961 is kept in print by a gift from Michael and Andrea Leven to the Guardians of American Letters Fund.
