MILLER, Arthur. DEATH OF A SALESMAN. Viking, NY, 1949.
Price: US$2240.00 + shipping
Description: 8vo, pp. 139. A fine copy, in some chipped and torn second issue dj (with play reviews). Signed by author. Jesnen A. IV. 1c. This won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. The play premiered on Broadway in February 1949, ran for 742 performances, and has been revived on Broadway four times, winning three Tony Awards for Best Revival. Brooks Atkinson noted in his New York Times Review: "Arthur Miller has written a superb drama. From every point of view "Death of a Salesman," which was acted at the Morosco last evening, is a rich and memorable drama. It is so simple in style and so inevitable in theme that it scarcely seems like a thing that has been written and acted." First Edition, second printing before publication.
