Christopher Bigsby's gripping, meticulously researched biography, based on boxes of papers made available to him before Miller's death, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Bigsby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674057082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674057081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 1.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/19\/2010 pg. 20","brand":"Christopher Bigsby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946903535871,"sku":"9780674057081","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8676a95f-9aef-4c8b-a172-6c66baee5123.jpg?v=1681515682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arthur-miller-1915-1962-christopher-bigsby-9780674057081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
