Ideal for student research and class discussion, this interdisciplinary casebook provides a rich variety of primary historical documents and commentary on The Crucible within the context of two relevant historical periods: the Salem witch-trials of 1692 and the Red Scare of the 1950s, when the play was written.

Through these documents, the reader also gains a taste for the historical events which influenced the novel as well as the novel's relevance in today's world. The significant parallels of this case to the novel paint a social and historical background of the novel.
