Complete digitally restored reprint (facsimile handmade reproduction) of the original edition of 1909 with excellent resolution and outstanding readability. The layout is +15% larger as the original for a better readability. This 1909 critique of Shaw's work and attitudes is considered one of the best works of cultural criticism ever written, and certainly the best book on Shaw. George Bernard Shaw (born July 26, 1856, died November 2, 1950) was a Nobel Prize and Oscar-winning Irish playwright, critic and socialist whose influence on Western theatre, culture and politics stretched from the 1880s to his death in 1950. Originally earning his way as an influential London music and theatre critic, Shaw's greatest gift was for the modern drama. Strongly influenced by Henrik Ibsen, he successfully introduced a new realism into English-language drama. He wrote more than 60 plays. Shaw became the leading comedy dramatist of his generation and one of the most important playwrights in the English language since the 17th century.
