Arthur Miller (1915–2005) was one of America’s greatest playwrights, who, in his seventeen plays, grappled with the weightiest matters of social conscience, exposing the flaws in the American dream. Among his works are the landmark drama Death of a Salesman, which won the Pulitzer Prize, the Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Tony; The Crucible, inspired by his virulent hatred of McCarthyism; and View from a Bridge, a drama of obsession and betrayal. Miller wrote successfully in other media as well, including the 1961 screenplay for The Misfits, starring his wife, Marilyn Monroe, and an autobiography, Timebend.
