Synopsis
Set during the Salem witchcraft trials, this play is most famous for its metaphor for McCarthyism--in fact, three years after the play was produced, Miller himself was called before HUAC. In the play, Miller used colonial language to near-poetic effect; the plot involves characters who have to make certain moral choices concerning their communities and their friends. Miller explores the handy scapegoat that an accusation of witchcraft can be: a father can dismiss his daughter's behavior, a landowner can acquire still more land, a serving girl can attract attention to herself, and emotions can be displaced onto other people. Miller fully explores the power of an accusing figure.

Industry reviews
"'The Crucible' dramatizes brilliantly the dilemma of an innocent man who must confess falsely if he wants to live and who finally gains the courage to insist on his innocence and hang."
New England Quarterly - David Levin (12/19/1955)

"'The Crucible' has endured beyond the immediate events of its own time. If it was originally seen as a political allegory, it is presently seen by contemporary audiences almost entirely as a distinguished American play by an equally distinguished American playwright."
Robert A. Martin (09/19/1977)

I will combine shipping so if you want to continue shopping, just let me know when you are ready for final invoice. 

 

I do send via media mail from HAWAII as it is cheaper, but it WILL take longer to arrive at its destination so please take that into consideration when bidding.  I have NO CONTROL over what happens to this once I take it to the Post Office.  It goes in the mail right after payment is received, usually the same day, with an email sent to you to confirm.  If you wish to upgrade to priority, I can arrange that, but it will cost a little more.  Just let me know. 

 

Thank you for looking and have a great day!!!!! The front cover pictured here is different than the one I have. And the part of ABIGAIL has been hi-lited in PINK.
