Arthur Miller for the Twenty-First Century: Contemporary Views of His Writings and Ideas brings together both established Miller experts and emerging commentators to investigate the sources of his ongoing resonance with audiences and his place in world theatre. The collection begins by exploring Miller in the context of 20th-century American drama. Chapters discuss Miller and Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, David Mamet, and Sam Shepard, as well as thematic relationships between Miller's ideas and the explosion of significant women and African American dramatists since the 1970s. Other essays focus more directly on interpretations of Miller's individual works, not only plays but also essays and fiction, including a discussion of Death of a Salesman in China. The volume concludes by considering Miller and current cultural issues: his work for human rights, his depiction of American ideals of masculinity, and his anticipation of contemporary posthumanism.
Stephen Marino teaches at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, USA. He has long been a widely recognized Miller scholar and is the founder and editor of the Arthur Miller Journal as well as the editor of several Miller anthologies and the author of numerous articles and two books on Miller. David Palmer is president of the Arthur Miller Society. He recently edited Visions of Tragedy in Modern American Drama (2018).
