"But he’s a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid": First Edition of the Author's Pultizer Prize-Winning Classic The Death Of A Salesman; Inscribed by Arthur Miller to the American Poetry Review
First edition of the first play to win all three major drama awards upon its opening in 1949: the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the Tony Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. Octavo, original orange cloth, pictorial endpapers, top stain black. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For the American Poetry Review Arthur Miller." The American Poetry Review (APR) is a bimonthly U.S. literary magazine founded in 1972 in Philadelphia by Stephen Berg and Stephen Parker, distinguished from the start by its accessible tabloid format and its commitment to publishing contemporary poetry alongside criticism, interviews, translations, and reviews. Long regarded as one of the country’s most widely circulated poetry journals, APR has printed work by thousands of writers—including many Nobel and Pulitzer laureates—and continues to position itself as a major forum for both established and emerging poetic voices within an international literary conversation. Fine in a near fine first issue dust jacket. First issue dust jacket points of a price of $2.50, the photograph of Miller on the rear flap, and no mention of the Drama Critic's Circle Award. Jacket drawing by Joseph Hirsch. An exceptional example.
When Death Of A Salesman premiered in 1949, it was an instant success and secured Arthur Miller's place as one of the great American playwrights of the 20th century. It was the recipient of the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. The play premiered on Broadway in February 1949, running for 742 performances, and has been revived on Broadway four times, winning three Tony Awards for Best Revival.
