Death of a Salesman is Miller's tragic masterpiece and one of the
greatest plays of the twentieth century. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize
in 1949, the play remains a classic work of literature and drama
that is studied and performed around the world. This critical
edition offers a wealth of authoritative and helpful commentary by
one of the leading international Miller scholars. Prepared in
consultation with the author's estate, it is the definitive edition
of the work. Willy Loman is an ageing travelling salesman haunted
and driven by empty dreams of prosperity and success. Justly
celebrated as one of the most famous dramatisations of the failure
of the American Dream, the play's moral and political purpose is
perfectly counterbalanced by a powerful and moving human drama of a
man trying to make his way in the world and of the human flaws that
lead to the shattering of his family and of their idol. This
Student Edition features an extensive introduction by Enoch Brater
which makes it the perfect edition for students of literature and
drama. It includes a chronology of Miller's life and times; a
summary of the plot, commentary on the characters, themes, language
and context, a production history of the play and questions for
further study.
