George Bernard Shaw: A Very Short Introduction
View through CrossRef
George Bernard Shaw: A Very Short Introduction provides an accessible foundation for those discovering George Bernard Shaw’s writing for the first time. The verbosity and scope of Shaw’s writing can at times feel daunting. With a canon of plays astonishing in size, breadth, and ambition, Shaw is considered the second greatest playwright in English behind William Shakespeare. The range and popularity of his work as journalist, essayist, and polemicist as well as playwright made him one of the world’s most recognizable public intellectuals and literary figures. Charting the contours of what constitutes ‘Shavian’, this VSI traces the creative evolution of core themes and styles over Shaw’s long career.
