Unlikely friends and collaborators, Bernard Shaw and Gilbert Murray
carried on a lively and wide-ranging correspondence for more than
fifty years. When they began exchanging letters in the late 1890s,
Shaw was a renowned Fabian propagandist, reviewer, and author of
anti-conventional plays. Murray was a classicist and translator of
ancient Greek drama who would eventually become Regius Professor of
Greek at Oxford. Beginning with their shared distaste for the
popular "well-made plays" of the era, their correspondence quickly
expanded into collaboration - Murray helped revise Shaw's Major
Barbara, in which he appears as a character - and discussion of a
vast range of issues ranging from alphabet reform and psychic
phenomena to the League of Nations and international politics. This
collection of 171 letters, most never before published, finally
makes the fascinating Shaw/Murray correspondence available. With
explanatory headnotes and footnotes by Charles A. Carpenter,
Bernard Shaw and Gilbert Murray offers insight into an unusual
literary and political friendship.
