Description

This one-credit seminar serves as an introduction to the four major plays written by Arthur Miller (’38). Each class session is devoted to a discussion of the material listed for the dates below (in the first three cases, text and video performance). Videos are available on Canvas. Topics for discussion include the immigration crisis, war profiteering, the threat to democracy, and the problematics of the so-called “American Dream.”

Active class participation is a requirement for this course, as is class attendance at all weekly sessions, which will be remote.
Multiple editions of the plays are available in print; students should have the edition they choose to read on hand for each of our class meetings.

There is a final paper for this mini-course (6-8 pages recommended; topics to be discussed) due no later than 6:00 pm on December 6.
