Timebends by Arthur Miller – 1987 Franklin Library – Signed 1st Edition, Gilt Leather Binding
A sweeping and candid autobiography by Arthur Miller, one of America’s greatest playwrights, Timebends traces the journey of a writer who helped shape 20th-century theater and public conscience. From Death of a Salesman to his marriage to Marilyn Monroe, Miller reflects with unflinching honesty on fame, politics, art, and the moral trials of his generation. A signed Franklin Library first edition, this volume captures the voice of an artist who defined American drama. A timely read amid ongoing conversations about truth, censorship, and artistic integrity—themes Miller himself championed throughout his life.
Like New condition. The full gilt leather boards are pristine with brilliant gilt design and titling, hubbed spine, and attached silk bookmark intact. All page edges are gilt, shimmering like new. The marbled endpapers are flawless, and the binding is tight and appears unread. The author’s signature is clean and bold on the first free page. This copy also includes the original Franklin Library letter to subscribers from publisher Barbara Cady, describing the book’s significance and the collaboration with Arthur Miller—an uncommon and desirable inclusion. A superb, collector-quality example of Franklin Library’s craftsmanship.
