As Miller's first successful play on Broadway, All My Sons launched his career and established Miller as America' s social critic. A devastating indictment of war-profiteering, the play exposes the awful price paid by self-interest and greed fostered by capitalism.
Set in 1947 in the Keller family's home in the mid-west, a shattered apple tree stands as a reminder of the pilot-son, lost during the war. Joe Keller has evaded justice for his part in the deaths of pilots caused by faulty engine parts manufactured in his factory, but the family is unable to put the past behind them.
This Student Edition features an extensive introduction by Toby Zinman which includes a chronology of Miller's life and times, a summary of the plot, commentary on the characters, themes, language and context, and a production history of the play. Together with questions for further study and notes on words and phrases from the text, this expertly edited edition is the essential text of the play for students of literature and drama.
