The Crucible: A Play in Four Acts
A Penguin Classics edition of Arthur Miller's 1953 play about the Salem witch trials, with an introduction by Christopher Bigsby and the usual editorial notes. The text is short, the type is readable, and the cover will match every other Penguin Classic on your shelf. Miller wrote it as a commentary on McCarthyism, but it has outlived that context by being about the general human willingness to name names. The binding is the familiar orange-and-black paperback, priced for students and for readers who want their canon portable. Ideal reader: the person who needs a reminder that moral panic is not a twentieth-century invention, or the student who has to read it anyway and might as well own a copy.
