The Crucible

No ratings yet

The Crucible is a 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692–93. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the United States government persecuted people accused of being communists. ---------- Also contained in: - [Arthur Miller's Collected Plays](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL66341W) - [Collected Plays 1944-1961](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15111386W) - [Crucible and Related Readings][1] - [Penguin Arthur Miller](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL22318521W) - [Portable Arthur Miller](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL66337W/The_Portable_Arthur_Miller) - [Prentice Hall: Literature: The American Experience](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL24558139W) - [Prentice Hall Literature: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes: The American Experience](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16060982W) - [Prentice Hall Literature: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes: The American Experience](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17727371W) [1]: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL18512368W/The_Crucible_and_Related_Readings
