Dictionary of Literary Biography on Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller is one of the major dramatists of the twentieth century. He has earned this reputation during a more than sixty-year career in which he wrote his first plays as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan in the 1930s; achieved critical success with dramas such as All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (1949), The Crucible (1953), and A View from the Bridge (1955) in the 1940s and 1950s; served as president of the International Association of Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Essayists and Novelists (PEN) and as a delegate to two Democratic conventions in the 1960s and 1970s; produced a critically acclaimed autobiography, Timebends: A Life, in 1987; and premiered new plays on Broadway and in London in the 1990s. In the twenty-first century Miller remains as active as at the beginning of his career, having published a collection of essays, Echoes Down the Corridor (2000), and completed a new play, Resurrection Blues (2002).
