American · b. 1915
Arthur Miller was one of the greatest American playwrights of the twentieth century, author of Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, whose work fused personal tragedy with moral and social conscience.
Arthur Miller achieved lasting fame with Death of a Salesman (1949), a Pulitzer Prize–winning tragedy of the American everyman Willy Loman that remains one of the defining plays of the American stage.
His The Crucible (1953), set during the Salem witch trials, was a powerful allegory for the McCarthy-era anti-communist hysteria, during which Miller himself was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee. His other works include All My Sons and A View from the Bridge.
Combining emotional power with fierce moral and social conscience, Miller is recognized as a giant of modern drama whose plays continue to be staged and studied around the world.
