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.
