Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This essay explores Arthur Miller’s comments on Tennessee Williams’s works and impact on American drama and on his own writing. First it explores some parallels between both playwrights, commenting on their different styles. Subsequently, the essay exposes Miller’s eulogy for Williams highlighting the powerful contribution of the latter not only to the American theater but to the political ideas that marked Williams’s dramas. It concludes with a cry over the necessity of exploring more of Williams’s dramas especially those overshadowed by the ideology of the critics.
