Richard Hoffman
Richard Hoffman, the Brooklyn theater collector and bookdealer, built the Arthur Miller Collection over a period of fifty years. During his service in the United States Army, Hoffman’s experience as an actor led to an assignment to create a television program titled “Your Army in View,” which consisted of interviews and live drama. After his discharge from the service in 1955, Hoffman taught in the drama department of The City College of New York. During this period he was awarded a Eugene O’Neill fellowship for playwriting. He also seriously began to collect rare books and first editions of contemporary American dramatists, notably the playwrights Eugene O’Neill, Arthur Miller, and Neil Simon. Richard Hoffman's interest in collecting first editions led to his career as an antiquarian bookdealer.
Arthur Miller
The American dramatist, writer, and essayist Arthur Miller was born October 17, 1915, in New York City. Miller was educated at the University of Michigan, A.B., 1938. Recognized by critics as one of the twentieth-century’s preeminent playwrights, Miller began his career writing plays while in college. His first two works, Honors at Dawn (1936) and No Villain: They Too Arise (1937), both won the University of Michigan’s Avery Hopwood Award. After college Miller wrote radio plays, followed by the novel Focus (1945). During the late 1940s and early 1950s Miller’s stage plays began receiving a number of awards, including the Drama Critics Circle Awards, 1947, for All My Sons, and 1949, for Death of a Salesman; Antoinette Perry ("Tony") Awards, 1947, for All My Sons, 1949, for Death of a Salesman, and 1953, for The Crucible; Donaldson Awards, 1947, for All My Sons, 1949, for Death of a Salesman, and 1953, for The Crucible; Pulitzer Prize for drama, 1949, for Death of a Salesman. Frequently cited as one of the central works of twentieth-century American drama, Death of a Salesman is Miller’s best known work.
Miller’s play concerning the Salem witch trials, The Crucible (1953), has been interpreted by some critics as an allegory for the McCarthy trials that took place during the early 1950s. Miller himself, accused of having communist sympathies, was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee, but refused to provide the committee with the names of other supposed communists. As a result Miller was found in contempt of Congress, but the conviction was overturned in 1958. During this same period Miller’s life was affected by his marriage to the actress Marilyn Monroe, whom he wed in 1956. The public attention that surrounded the couple combined with Monroe’s troubled fame proved difficult for Miller. However, his script for The Misfits (1961), based on a short story he first published in Esquire magazine in 1957, was written with Monroe in mind and reveals the admirable qualities he saw in her. They divorced in 1961. In After the Fall (1967) Miller further revealed the complexities of his relationship with Monroe, but within a broader thematic context that addresses man’s alienation. One of Miller’s most successful Broadway plays, The Price (1968), recalls the themes of his earlier works, such as All My Sons and Death of a Salesman. His other plays include Incident at Vichy (1964), The Archbishop's Ceiling (1977), The American Clock (1980), The Ride Down Mt. Morgan (1991), and Broken Glass (1994).
As a socially conscientious writer Miller has promoted human rights and artistic freedom; while serving as the president of International P.E.N. (1965 – 1969), Miller worked to open the organization to Soviet Bloc countries and to provide support for imprisoned and persecuted writers. He is credited with vitalizing the organization during his time as president.
Miller has received many honors for his writing, including an Obie Award, two New York Drama Critics Awards, two Emmy Awards, three Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize (1949), the American Academy of Arts and Letters gold medal (1959), a John F. Kennedy Award for Lifetime Achievement (1984), the Jerusalem Prize (2003), and many other honors.

The Richard Hoffman Arthur Miller Collection spans the dates 1945 – 2000 and comprises two linear feet of play scripts, screenplays, photographs, correspondence, financial documents, posters, flyers, periodicals, journals, theater programs, news clippings, and ephemera related to the American playwright and author Arthur Miller. Assembled by the writer and Brooklyn-based bookdealer Richard Hoffman, the collection also includes Miller’s published plays, which are cataloged individually and housed with printed collections in the Special Collections Department at the University of Delaware Library. Richard Hoffman built this archive by collecting materials related to the dramatic works of Arthur Miller, as well as general sources about Miller.
Series I. Dramatic Works is organized alphabetically according to the title of Miller’s dramatic works and comprises the majority of the collection. The series includes a broad representation of eighteen of Miller’s plays, beginning with All My Sons (1947) and running through Mr. Peters’ Connections (1998). Included are original play scripts for some of Miller’s most well-known works, such as After the Fall (1967, two copies), The Creation of the World and Other Business (1972, three copies), Death of a Salesman (1949, three copies), The Price (1968, two copies), and Up from Paradise (1978, two copies). Several of the scripts once belonged to cast members of Miller’s plays and bear the annotations and stage directions of Rose Arrick (After the Fall, 1984), Stanley Beck (After the Fall, 1964), Len Cariou (Up from Paradise), Paul Lipson (Death of a Salesman), and Esther Person (An Enemy of the People). Additionally, a revised film script for Let’s Make Love (1959) and the screenplay and dialogue continuity for The Misfits (1960- 61) are included in the series. The series also contains a number of promotional posters and theater programs, as well as original cast phonographic recordings of After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, and an operatic treatment of The Crucible. The most well-represented work in the series is Death of a Salesman: included are theater programs from the original production, financial documents related to production agreements and investment dividends, and promotional materials for both film and stage productions.
Series II. Miscellaneous Journals, Periodicals, and Ephemera comprises material related to Miller’s career in general.
