Miller was the recipient of the National Book Foundation's 2001 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the Prince of Asturias Award for Letters in 2002, and the Jerusalem Prize in 2003. Christopher Bigsby is a professor of American Studies at the University of East Anglia. He edited the Penguin Classics editions of Miller's The Crucible, Death of a Salesman, and All My Sons. Written in 1953, The Crucible is a mirror Miller uses to reflect the anticommunist hysteria inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy´s "witch-hunts" in the United States. Within the text itself, Miller contemplates the parallels, writing "Political opposition ... is given an inhumane overlay, which then justifies the abrogation of all normally applied customs of civilized behavior. A political policy is equated with moral right, and opposition to it with diabolical malevolence." Críticas Winner of the National Book Award Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters
