The Crucible: Politics, Property, and Pretense

By James J. Martine

Book Overview

After two decades of teaching the works of Arthur Miller in university classrooms, I cannot properly acknowledge my indebtedness to the perceptivity and insights of the scholar's of Miller's works who have come before me or my debt to the energy and enthusiasm of a generation of undergraduate students.

Excellent Teacher resource

James Martine clarifys the important points that need to be conveyed to the high school student. He will also bring clarity to the teacher struggling for the best way into the play. Particularly useful are ideas about John Proctor as a tragic hero. Twayne publishes consistently solid criticism for the high school teacher and serious student.
