Arthur Miller Death of a Salesman BOOK Theatre Play HC

Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in Two acts and a Requiem by Arthur Miller.  Hardcover book (no dust jacket) published by The Cresset Press 1960, 128 pages.  Death of a Salesman is a 1949 play by American playwright Arthur Miller and is a classic of American theater. Death of a Salesman made both Arthur Miller and the character Willy Loman household names. The play raises a counterexample to Aristotle's characterization of tragedy as the downfall of a great man: though Loman certainly has Hamartia, a tragic flaw or error, his downfall is that of an ordinary man (a "low man"). Like Sophocles' Oedipus in Oedipus the King, Loman's flaw comes down to a lack of self-knowledge; unlike Oedipus, Loman's downfall threatens not the city but only a single household. In this sense, Miller's play represents a democratization of the ancient form of tragedy; the play's protagonist is himself obsessed with the question of greatness, and his downfall arises directly from his misconception of himself as someone capable of greatness.  This book is in fair condition.  The cover is in very good condition.  The cover looks great.  The book itself is in fair condition.  There are marks and foxing to the outer edges.  The front endpaper has a name written on it.  There is some foxing to the front and back endpapers.  The front endpaper has a booksellers sticker on it.  IMPORTANT: There is underlining and marks in the book.  This is in pencil and is not all the way through.  There is yellowing of the pages.  Overall a good copy.
