Take a tour of New York City as inspiration, place and context in the work of America's greatest playwright of the 20th century, brought to life with images from Miller's time and today.

Readers of the work of Arthur Miller will be familiar with the presence of NYC in much of his work. In Arthur Miller's New York Stephen Marino offers a rich, panoramic study of NYC across all of Miller's oeuvre, exploring how Miller transformed the defining experiences of his youth and early adulthood â" formed on the streets and in the neighborhoods of the New York boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens â" into art.

A crucial component of his creative DNA, NYC figures prominently in Miller's dramatic work: Death of a Salesman, A Memory of Two Mondays, A View From the Bridge, After the Fall, The Price, The American Clock, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, Broken Glass, and Mr. Peterâs Connections all have settings in which the charactersâ interactions with the cityscape significantly determine the events of the plays.

Miller was also a prodigious fiction writer, and New York features in his two longer works of fiction: his only novel, Focus, is set in the borough of Queens and boldly confronts the issue of American anti-Semitism, and the novella, Homely Girl, A Life, creates a sweeping landscape of time and emotion in Manhattan. Many of Millerâs short stories depict New York settings that are catalysts for the main charactersâ conflicts.

An evocative set of images from Miller's times and from the present period bring the character of New York City into sharp relief and trace its evolution over a century of change.
