About the Author
Shweta Singh is a research scholar at University of Allahabad, India. She started her dissertation on plays of Arthur Miller since she found Miller very relevant in today's world; the world of privatization, the world where people have become self centred and running blindly behind dreams of success. And when the world started facing the same recession of 1930's of which Miller was the product. She realized that Miller needs another serious thought and should be reheard. She subsequently updated her dissertation as a book.
