| Summary: | Having made his reputation in the 1940s and '50s, Arthur Miller continued to write into the twenty-first century, producing his final play in 2004, the year before his death. With little critical, academic or theatrical attention being paid to his plays after 1968's The Price, he had one of the longest "late" periods in literary history. This book brings new attention to Miller's writing from this period, analyzing five plays, The Archbishop's Ceiling, Some Kind of Love Story, Clara and The Ride Down Mt. Morgan and Resurrection Blues and a host of essays that highlight the influence of postmodernism on his work. Using relevant novels and films, these plays are situated within the context of their cultural moments to show that Miller remained an engaged, aware and contemporary writer until his death. |
