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:
Echoes Down the Corridor and
The Theater Essays of Arthur Miller. It is edited and features a new introduction by Matthew Roudané, 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
