This Student Edition of The Crucible is perfect for students of literature and drama and offers an unrivalled guide to Miller's classic play. It features an extensive introduction by Susan C. W. Abbotson which includes: a chronology of Miller's life and times; a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters, themes, language, context and production history of the play. Together with over twenty questions for further study, detailed notes on words and phrases from the text and the additional scene 2 of the second Act, this is the definitive edition of the play. In a small tight-knit community gossip and rumour spread like wildfire inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and vengeance. The Crucible is Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.

A true masterpiece that will make you question the character of society and yourself. I was able to relate to many situations shown in this story and it changed my views on a lot of things by inspiring me to think in about them in a more abstract way. This story helped me gain a better understanding of myself and the motives of other people.

anyone who has read or seen this play knows how awesome it is. Its a story of how Mr Proctor's affair with a servant girl, Abigail, causes trouble. The young girl accuses his wife of witch craft and then Proctor ends up facing trial as well. Demonstrating how hysterical the public can become over a small matter, miller created a chilling work of art. The politics in this story is timeless.
