After attending the University of Michigan, he returned to New York where he began his remarkable career in playwriting after publishing the novel Focus in 1945. His first successful play, All My Sons, was soon followed by Death of a Salesman, which received a Pulitzer Prize in 1949 and established Miller as a preeminent American playwright. Written in 1953, The Crucible, a play about the Salem witch trials, is considered by many to be an allegory for the McCarthy hearings, which Miller attended. A View from the Bridge garnered Miller his second Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1955. Miller broke ground in contemporary playwriting by portraying the dreams and despair of American working people. P e n g u i n C l a s s i C s 169
