Fifty years after the original production of "Death of a Salesman", Arthur Miller's play has as much emotional impact upon and relevance to the audience of twenty-first century America as it did when it was first performed. In this collection of papers, taken from the Fifth International Arthur Miller Conference in Brooklyn Heights, New York, authors focus on the play's position in America's dramatic literary canon. The subjects of the essays range from evaluation of the play in economic terms to critical analysis of specific productions, to a look at the body of Miller's works.
Author Biography: Stephen A. Marino is an adjunct professor in the English Department of Saint Francis College, Brooklyn, New York.

The Salesman Has a Birthday: Essays Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman
Emancipating Pragmatism uncovers the hidden root structure that connects Ralph Waldo Emerson to Harryette Mullen via figures as dazzlingly diverse as John Dewey, Amiri Baraka, Kenneth Burke, Ornette Coleman, William Carlos Williams, Paul Goodman, Frank O'Hara, William James, Susan Howe, and Ralph W. Ellison. What Magee sees as the link between them is a practice he calls "democratic symbolic action": an insistence that the meaning of democracy--its yen for heterogeneity, improvisation, and collaborative experiment--be enacted at the level of the sentence. Through a lucid riff on the pragmatist tradition, he reminds us that the search for a relationship between aesthetic practice and political action so central to contemporary poetics has been an ongoing obsession in American letters since at least the 1850s.
