Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman

Informationen zum Autor Peter L. Hays Klappentext Every day, in some part of the world, an Arthur Miller play is performed.In the nearly 60 years since its first production, the Pulitzer Prizewinning Death of a Salesman has been become a classic, a staple of school anthologies of American literature and of acting companies' repertoires. It has received worldwide productions, whether as a study of parent-child relationships, as in its landmark 1976 production directed by Miller in Beijing, or as a critique of Western capitalism and has been filmed once for television and twice for movies. Zusammenfassung Provides a comprehensive critical introduction to the play. This work gives students an overview of the background and context; detailed analysis of the play's structure, style, characters; and an overview of the performance history from the first performances in 1949 to film adaptations.
