Communists, Cowboys, and Queers

by David Savran

During the late 1940s and 1950s, argues David Savran, the baiting and brutalization of "communists and queers" were high on the national agenda. Within this historical context, Communists, Cowboys, and Queers offers a bold and radical reassessment of the works of theater's most prominent and respected figures - Arthur Miller, the alleged communist, and Tennessee Williams, the self-acknowledged "queer."
