Reviews

Uniformly accessible, informative, and well written, these 11 essays, virtually all of them by accomplished Miller scholars, explore the thematic filaments that tie Miller's plays to the moderately conservative values associated with Middle America. The book is marked by a commendable, refreshing breadth: it succeeds in offering enduring insights (to specialists and non-specialists alike) on Miller's unsurpassable power to lay bare the roots of the cultural landscape. Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.--H.I. Einsohn Choice
