In Arthur Miller by Christopher Bigsby (Harvard University Press; May 21, 2009; $35.00), Christopher Bigsby uses recently discovered documents to tell us more about the personal and professional lives of this great playwright and essayist. 

According to Harvard University Press "This is the long-awaited biography of one of the twentieth century's greatest playwrights, Arthur Miller, whose postwar decade of work earned him international critical and popular acclaim. Christopher Bigsby's gripping, meticulously researched biography examines his refusal to name names before the notorious House on Un-American Activities Committee, offers new insights into Miller's marriage to Marilyn Monroe, and sheds new light on how their relationship informed Miller's subsequent great plays."

Christopher Bigsby is the Professor of American Studies and Director of the Arthur Miller Centre at the University of East Anglia.

The book is avaliable for order on Amazon.com and in bookstores.
