Critics and fans alike praise Arthur Miller’s status as a Jewish-American writer, pointing out how his religious and cultural background influenced his writings. However, Miller identified himself as an atheist, renouncing a religion he could never fully escape. From eating cold lobster after his marriage to Marilyn Monroe to virtually accepting an award from Israel and then questioning the morality of the country’s existence, Miller’s complicated relationship with his religious and cultural identity would remain with him for his entire life. In this event in the Jewish Studies Speaker Series, April VeVea examines both the impact of Judaism on his work and personal life. 

This event is sponsored by the Jewish Studies department, the English department and the Great Books Concentration.
