Overview

The Crucible still has permanence and relevance more than a half century after its initial publication. This powerful political drama set amid the Salem witch trials is commonly viewed as Arthur Miller's poignant response to McCarthyism. Filled with a fresh selection of essays about the play, the new edition of this invaluable literary guide offers students a wealth of commentary on Miller's classic drama.
