George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin in 1856. Before becoming a
playwright he wrote music and literary criticism. Shaw used his
writing to attack social problems such as education, marriage,
religion, government, health care, and class privilege. Shaw was
particularly conscious of the exploitation of the working class.
The Perfect Wagnerite is a politically oriented essay. Shaw was a
life-long Socialist and one of the earliest Wagner enthusiasts. He
praises Wagner's "Ring Cycle" as a denunciation of the evils of
capitalism and as a musical triumph.
