The Man Who Had All the Luck
Introduction by Christopher Bigsby
David Beeves’s career is founded on a lie,
and success, he knows, came too easily.
As the play develops, the misfortunes
of others are revealed to David in even
greater relief, offering evidence of a
capricious God or, worse, an arbitrary
universe. This early drama possesses the
first stirrings of what would blossom into
such masterpieces as Death of a Salesman
and The Crucible.

The Portable Milton
Edited with an Introduction by
Douglas Bush
The Portable Milton is an authoritative
grand tour through the imagination of
this prodigal genius. In the course of his
forty-year career, John Milton evolved
from a prodigy to a blind prophet, from a
philosophical aesthete to a Puritan rebel,
and from a poet who proclaimed the
triumph of reason to one obsessed with
the intractability of sin.
