About the Project

For the past seven decades, Arthur Miller has been a staple in classrooms, lecture halls, and theatres around the world. Literature and drama students cannot help but encounter his distinct, urgent voice in Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, for example, which, along with All My Sons, A View from the Bridge, and The Price, have been performed continuously in theatres since their premieres. Miller was also a regular contributor to the American, British, and global media, and throughout the later years of his life, his opinion on public issues was deeply sought after.

In the Arthur Miller Society, we are dedicated to supplying scholars and artists, as well as teachers and students at every educational level, with resources to approach Miller from a variety of angles—from more traditional approaches to cutting-edge ones based on recent theoretical developments and cultural and social changes.

The Arthur Miller Online Teaching and Learning Center aims to provide educational materials, resources, and forums focused on Miller’s plays and other writings so that educators and students can develop their ideas and interact with his work. This site intends to serve solely as an intermediary among scholars, educators, and students interested in Arthur Miller and his work, and all materials are free and open for use to all registered users.

At the heart of this project is our belief in the enduring importance of Miller’s writing. Although twenty years have passed since his death at the age of eighty-nine, many of his core themes remain relevant, and new generations of students continue to be moved by his plays. Our project seeks to widen exposure to his works from all periods of his career, and to promote quality teaching and learning of this preeminent dramatist.

The platform is organized around three main areas of interest:

  • Resources and Materials,
  • Submissions, and
  • Forum (accessible to registered users).

We are now inviting educators, scholars, and students to contribute lesson plans, critical essays, classroom activities, syllabi, multimedia presentations, and other pedagogical materials to be shared through the site.
