This source primarily consists of Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, a dramatic work set during the Salem witch trials of 1692. It includes the play's four acts, along with an introduction by Christopher Bigsby that provides historical context for the events and explores the play's allegorical connections to McCarthyism and broader themes of power, guilt, and betrayal. The text also features a note on historical accuracy by Miller, an appendix containing a deleted scene, and biographical information about the author and the introduction's writer, as well as publishing details.
