Declining or Waning
- Less Focus on Historical Contextualization:
There appears to be a diminishing emphasis on the historical contexts surrounding Miller's works, such as the socio-political climate of his time. Fewer papers are exploring the historical events that influenced his writing, suggesting a shift towards more contemporary interpretations. - Reduction in Adaptation Studies:
The journal seems to be moving away from detailed studies of adaptations of Miller's plays in various media. While adaptations remain relevant, there are fewer articles dedicated to analyzing how different interpretations impact the understanding of his original texts. - Decreased Studies on Lesser-Known Works:
There is a noticeable decline in the exploration of Miller's lesser-known works, such as 'The Last Yankee' or 'Incident at Vichy'. The focus has shifted predominantly towards his most famous plays, potentially overlooking the richness of his complete oeuvre. - Diminishing Attention to Feminist Critiques:
Feminist critiques of Miller's works, which were more prevalent in earlier years, seem to be less frequently addressed in recent publications. This could indicate a waning interest in gender studies as they pertain to Miller's narratives.
