Arthur Miller: Collected Plays Vol. 1 1944-1961 (LOA #163) (Library of America Arthur Miller Edition) Details
From the Back Cover ARTHUR MILLER: COLLECTED PLAYS 1944-1961 Tony Kushner, editor "For American playwrights who come after Arthur Miller, there is of course an unpayable debt," writes Tony Kushner. "Those of us who seek mastery of dramatic realist narrative have his plays to try to emulate. Scene after scene, they are perhaps our best constructed plays, works of a master." "Miller takes his rightful place in The Library of America with this volume containing Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, All My Sons, The Man Who Had All the Luck, An Enemy of the People, A Memory of Two Mondays, and The Misfits." --Library Journal (starred review) Read more About the Author Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915 and studied at the University of Michigan.

Reviews
This is a hardback book and if there is an interest in reading multiple works by this author I can't think of a better way to do it. I certainly have soft-cover books but this volume will most certainly stand the test of time. I suspect my family will read it. Pleased to have it in the house.
