الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aims at probing into Arthur Miller's greatest tragedy Death of a Salesman, utilizing the new historicist approach as a main methodology and the cultural approach as a secondary methodology.

The study examines the outside contexts regarding the biographical, historical, political, social and cultural contexts, making special reference to the characters, themes and events of the play.

The findings of the study show that Miller's Death of a Salesman is a product of its time, place, circumstances and the playwright’s biography.

The play is a social commentary on certain values, beliefs and morals that were common in the American society in the 1930s.

Despite Miller’s artistic creativity, he was affected by certain social, political and economic factors in writing the play.

He was affected by particular historical events which were the Great Depression (1929-1939), World War II, The Cold War, the wide spread of capitalism and the economic boom of the late 1940s.

Finally, the themes of the play are drawn from his society such as the failure of the American dream, the family theme, father-son relationship and mother-son relationship
