{"product_id":"9780873527279","title":"Approaches to Teaching Miller's Death of a Salesman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"If one were to hazard a guess as to what American play is the most studied at the university level,\" writes Matthew C. Roudan , \"it might not be too fanciful to suggest Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.\" As this volume attests, not only is the play extensively taught; it also lends itself to a range of instructional approaches. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1, \"Materials,\" surveys editions, anthologies, and a large selection of published works on Miller. Part 2, \"Approaches,\" comprises fourteen concise, helpful essays by experienced instructors. The approaches described include considering Death of a Salesman as the \"quintessential\" American play; focusing on the importance of the stage directions and scenery; comparing Willy Loman with salesmen in plays by O'Neill and Mamet; and reading the play from psychoanalytic, poststructuralist, sociological, and feminist perspectives. The extensive works-cited list at the end of the volume includes audiovisual aids.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033157681392,"sku":"9780873527279","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780873527279_p0.jpg?v=1763839522","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780873527279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
