The tragedy of Loman the all-American dreamer and loser works eternally, on the page as on the stage. A lot of plays made history around 1949, but none have stepped out of history into the classic canon as Salesman has. Great as it was, Tennessee Williams's work can't be revived as vividly as this play still is, all over the world. (This edition has edifying pictures of Lee J. Cobb's 1949 and Brian Dennehy's 1999 performances.) It connects Aristotle, The Great Gatsby, On the Waterfront, David Mamet, and the archetypal American movie antihero. It even transcends its author's tragic flaw of pious preachiness (which undoes his snoozy The Crucible, unfortunately his most-produced play).
No doubt you've seen Willy Loman's story at least once. It's still worth reading. --Tim Appelo

Is The Way Brooks Atkinson Described Death Of A Salesman By Arthur Miller. The Name Of Willy Loman, The Central Character, Has Become As Familiar As Pabbitt.

The Drama Of His Downhill Struggle Is The Heart-Wrenching Drama Of Wishful Dreamers Everywhere. The Play Reads As Absorbingly As It Performs, And Has Already Taken A Permanent Place In Our Written Literature. Seller Inventory # 008911
