A biographically based study of George Bernard Shaw and his milieu,
this book offers a non-laudatory reading of Shaw's economic
practices and theories, augments feminist and postcolonial
critiques that preoccupy the study of literary history in the
1990s, and provides a long overdue revisionist reading of Shaw for
an undergraduate readership. It traces the theatrical and political
influences on Shaw from his earliest days in London; tracks his
interest in socialism as an activist and author of tracts, novels,
and plays emphasizing certain polemical traits; and follows his
career as a major literary figure into the mid-20th century. The
overarching themes of theatre and politics are narrated in relation
to attempts by Shaw and his contemporaries to identify an audience
and aesthetic for socialist theatre. The bibliographic essay that
concludes the book is particularly helpful for student readers, who
can benefit from a manageably-sized orientation to the mountain of
Shavian scholarship.
