A.M. Gibbs provides an authoritative and comprehensive account of
the life, career and associations of George Bernard Shaw
(1856-1950), one of the most eminent and influential literary
figures of the modern age. Drawing on a wide range of published and
unpublished material, this work illuminates the complex fabric of
Shaw's extraordinary career as playwright, novelist, critic,
orator, political activist, social commentator, avant-garde thinker
and controversialist. Images of Shaw's daily private life, and of
his tangled love affairs, flirtations and friendships, are
intertwined with the records of his prodigiously productive career
as public figure and creative writer, in a fully documented study
which is both a scholarly resource and a lively biographical
portrait. An introductory chapter explores theoretical issues in
biography raised by the chronology form; and a chapter on Shaw's
ancestry and family supplies new evidence about his Irish
background. A Who's Who section contains thumbnail sketches of over
two hundred contemporaries of Shaw who had significant associations
with him.
