  • Miller's beautifully rendered allegory of rumor, ruin and integrity rightfully deserves its place among great dramas. Heart-wrenching and intense, The Crucible has quickly attained the status of a classic.

  • This was another classic that I was not required to read, so I picked it up on my own.

Along with a collection of some of the best criticism available on his work, this text includes a brief biography of the author, structural and thematic analysis, an index of themes and ideas, and more. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts are the ideal aid for all students of literature, presenting concise, easy-to-understand biographical, critical, and bibliographical information on a specific literary work.
