Dominik which includes: a chronology of Miller's life and times; a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters, themes, language, context and production history of the play. Together with over twenty questions for further study and detailed notes on words and phrases from the text, this is the definitive edition of the play. Premiering on Broadway in 1968, The Price ran for over 400 performances and earned Miller the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. Like Death of a Salesman and After the Fall, it is a memory play, but one presented as an escalating argument within a traditional, realistic structure. The play concerns two brothers who must return to the home of their deceased father prior to its destruction to dispose of the furniture crammed into the attic. Exhibiting many features characteristic of Miller's work including sibling rivalry, confrontation with the past and with their memories, the effects of the Great Depression and the war in Vietnam, the pursuit of a dream, and the responsibility one must assume for one's own life, The Price is recognised as one of Miller's major works.

SUMMARY Arthur Miller has been delivering powerful drama to the stage for decades with such masterpieces as Death of a Salesman. But, remarkably, no one has yet told the full story of Miller's own extraordinary life-a rich life, much of it shrouded from public view. To achieve this groundbreaking portrait of the artist and the man, the award-winning drama critic and biographer Martin Gottfried masterfully draws on his interviews with those who have known Miller throughout his personal and professional life, on Miller's voluminous lifelong correspondence, and on the annotated scripts and notebooks that reveal Miller's creative process in stunning detail. From Miller's childhood and adolescence in Depression-era New York City to his formative college years in Michigan.from the numerous early professional rejections to the 1947 play All My Sons that established him as a voice to be reckoned with.from his heroic defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy years to his most unlikely pairing with Marilyn Monroe. From political and social activism on the world stage to an extraordinary professional vitality even as he turns 88 in October 2003 (he is still writing plays, and stage revivals and film adaptations of his classics proliferate): here is a dazzling book-a literary event of the first order.

463 Acknowledgments p. 467 Review by Choice Review This excellent and much-needed biography (no other exists) of Arthur Miller (b.1915) addresses more than the lacunae in Miller's autobiography Timebends (CH, Mar'88); it portrays Miller as a representative of the 20th century and establishes him among the giants of US, perhaps world, drama.

Gottfried (drama critic for the New York Post and author of other biographies and works about Broadway) had only indirect cooperation from the very private Miller, but he drew on interviews, letters, transcripts, and annotated scripts. Successfully interweaving the playwright's personal life with his creative and political lives, Gottfried analyzes each play within the context of its creation and production, from No Villain (1936), which won the Hopwood Prize at the University of Michigan, through Mr. Peters' Connections (1998).

He discusses the importance of Miller's marriages, his immense and uninterrupted popularity in Great Britain, the erosion and resurrection of his reputation in the US, his involvement with Hollywood, and his political activities, especially with the director Elia Kazan and the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The book is illustrated and includes a list of works and a chronology of premiere productions. ^BSumming Up: Essential.

Drama and theater collections at all levels. Kohl emerita, Dutchess Community College Copyright American Library Association, used with permission. Review by Booklist Review Gottfried says that his book about the man many consider America's greatest living playwright has the 'advantages and disadvantages of both authorized and unauthorized biographies.' He had a rich store of past interviews with Miller left over from his days with the New York Post, Saturday Review, and Women's Wear Daily, and from Jed Harris (1984), his biography of a notable Miller colleague. But Miller withdrew support for this book, refusing further interviews, when Gottfried's questions became too probing and personal. Miller didn't block access to his private papers, housed in university libraries throughout the U.S., though; he just didn't help sift through them.

So, really, this is an unauthorized book, not unlike Gottfried's All His Jazz (on Bob Fosse, 1990) and Sondheim (1993) as well as Harris, that still has nearly everything the armchair theater aficionado would want: exhaustive research, intelligent play analysis, an interesting life story (early success, terrifying mid-life crisis, rediscovery in later life), and just enough gossip (in this case, about Marilyn Monroe) to add spice. And gossip is hardly central to the book's success.

Even if there were nothing in it on Monroe, even if you skim the extensive play-plot summaries, or skip them entirely, Gottfried's gift for fashioning facts into a fascinating narrative is such that the book remains compulsively readable. --Jack Helbig Copyright 2003 Booklist From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association.

Used with permission. Review by Publisher's Weekly Review Former New York Post drama critic Gottfried (Sondheim) shares an illuminating and profound picture of playwright Miller. Outraged at the shameful critical disrespect heaped in recent years on the author of Death of a Salesman and All My Sons, Gottfried carefully analyzes all Miller's plays to rebut the adverse comments. An indifferent student, son of a father barely literate yet successful as a women's clothing manufacturer, Miller (b.

1915) blossomed in college and produced promising works: Final Curtain, Honors at Dawn and They Too Arise. The Jewish Miller married Catholic Mary Grace Slattery, the daughter of anti-Semitic parents, and persevered despite the failure of his first production, The Man Who Had All the Luck (1944). After this rejection, Miller consciously aimed to create a commercial hit, accomplished with All My Sons. Free Download Custom Ipsw 5.1 1 Iphone 4 more. Gottfried leads readers through the playwright's meticulous work regimen-his attention to potential titles, dialogue and scene descriptions, pointing out that it took five years, six drafts and 700 pages before Miller was satisfied with his first hit. Material about Marilyn Monroe is incorporated seamlessly throughout the text, and Gottfried refuses to unbalance his overall literary study with sensationalism. He compellingly presents the Miller/Elia Kazan artistic collaborations and doesn't avoid unflattering details (e.g., his subject's tendency toward pomposity and his tight-fisted financial attitude) but also expresses admiration for Miller's willingness to offer informer Lee J. Cobb a starring role in A View from the Bridge.

(Miller discussed his plays with Gottfried, but not his life.) Only Inge Morath, Miller's third wife, remains shadowy. Fortunately, personal stories are refreshingly secondary in one of the rare books that makes the playwriting process comprehensible and consistently involving. Agent, Elaine Markson.

15) Forecast: Miller will turn 88 in October, which could help initial sales, but the book's strength lies in its endurance. Gottfried's strong track record combined with the book's depth should make this a classic. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved Review by Library Journal Review Arthur Miller's All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and View from the Bridge rank as masterpieces of the 20th-century American stage. Veteran drama critic Gottfried (Jed Harris: The Curse of Genius) tells the story of this famed playwright, whom he believes has been more appreciated overseas than in his own country.

Skillfully drawing on Miller's correspondence and notebooks, as well as interviews with friends and colleagues, he illuminates the family dynamics of Miller's childhood-and the marked change from privilege to poverty when the Depression struck-and other relationships and experiences. This information, in turn, sheds light on some of the dramatic characters and themes in Miller's work. Details about his three marriages (particularly to Marilyn Monroe), children, friendships, and working relationships with luminaries such as Elia Kazan, and more are presented honestly, intelligently, and without sensationalism. Miller decided not to participate in Gottfried's project, but he did help the author secure access to important documents in research libraries. Gottfried's access to original research makes his book especially in-depth, and with the few biographies of Miller either out of print or emphasizing criticism, this is an important purchase for large theater collections.-Carol J.
