To celebrate the centennial of his birth, the collected plays of America’s greatest twentieth-century dramatist in a beautiful bespoke hardcover edition

From his quiet debut, The Man Who Had All the Luck, and All My Sons, the follow-up that established him as a major talent, to career hallmarks like The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, and later works like Mr. Peters’ Connections and Resurrection Blues, the range and courage of Miller’s moral and artistic vision are here on full display.

This lavish bespoke edition, specially produced to commemorate the Miller centennial, is a must-have for devotees of Miller’s work.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Here we find the true compassion and catharsis that are as essential to our society as water and fire and babies and air. I remember walking and running and jumping out of the theater after seeing Death of a Salesman, like a child in the morning, because Miller awakened in me the taste for all that must be—the empathy and love for the least of us, out of which bursts a gratitude for the poetry of these characters and the greatness of their creator.”
—Philip Seymour Hoffman
 

“His plays and his conscience are a cold burning force.”
—Edward Albee
 
“You can usually tell if a writers loves actors or not by the parts he gives you. He gives you tap dances. He gives you arias.”
—Dustin Hoffman
 
“[
Death of a Salesman] was our story that we did not know until we heard it.”
—David Mamet
 
“Arthur Miller is a playwright for all seasons and all nations.”
—Christopher Bigsby

"The greatest playwright of the 20th Century."
—Vaclav Havel

"Writing meant, for him, an effort to locate in the human species a counterforce to the randomness of victimisation."
—Salman Rushdie

"He was so honest and a man of rare integrity in his writing."
—Harold Pinter

"Arthur was the last of the three great theatrical voices of the American century - O'Neill, Williams, Miller."
—David Hare

"[Miller] has looked with compassion into the hearts of some ordinary Americans and quietly transferred their hope and anguish to the theatre."
—Brooks Atkinson

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) was born in New York City in 1915 and studied at the University of Michigan. During his lifetime he was celebrated as the pre-eminent playwright of his generation and won numerous awards for his work including two New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards, two Emmy awards and three Tony Awards for his plays, as well as a Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement. His 1949 play Death of a Salesman was the first play to scoop all three major US awards: the New York Critics Circle Award, a Tony Award for Best Author and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His many plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, A Memory of Two Mondays, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The Price, The Creation of the World and Other Business, and The American Clock; later plays include Broken Glass, Resurrection Blues and the aptly-titled Finishing the Picture. His other published work includes the novel Focus, The Misfits which was filmed in 1960, two collections of short stories, the memoir Timebends and various volumes of non-fiction including three books in collaboration with his wife, photographer Inge Morath.

It goes without saying that Mr. Miller is one of the giant voices of the theatre, arguably America's greatest dramatist.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022
I read Arthur Miller's plays throughout my high school years and at a young age, was incredibly moved each time I finished reading one.

Happy to say that many many years later, the feelings are still the same - I was thrilled to find such a collection of his work for such a reasonable price. Reading them again is such a pleasure, even those I have read a number of times. Having seen on Broadway several of these works, the characters are doubly alive with each word spoken.

I can't imagine anyone finding fault with this book and its content.

As someone who adores Arthur MIller's plays, but doesn't have the shelf space for multiple books, this "all in one" collection is simply wonderful. I especially appreciate the fact that this book is softcover (i.e., lighter in weight) yet has the design elements, style, and print quality of a hardcover book. What you expect is exactly what you get.

Good price, saved over $7 by purchasing from here vs. bookstore. The condition of the book is as described, new. Delivered on time. Overall I am satisfied. As for the book itself, it is very bulky, not good for travel for sure. However, if you want all of AM's works to study at home for a very good price this is the best way to go.

Great collection. Too big and somewhat inaccurate (long side of pages not trimmed), would be better if split in two volumes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic price for its worth
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2020
When each individual title is worth ~£8 buying this is an absolute no-brainer. It's worth 18 for the price of 3, quite literally. A fantastic playwright and well worth anyone's time to read it through.
The only critique would be that the edges of the pages are a bit rough and are different sizes but at a book of this size that can be expected, and it is a very minor con where the pros definitely outweigh it.
