This study of Shaw is an attempt to provide a record of the impact
Shaw made on his contemporaries and of the way in which he
presented himself and his opinions in published interviews. Shaw is
seen here through the eyes of many of his famous contemporaries as
well as lesser-known witnesses. The interviews bear the stamp of
Shaw's characteristically lively and provocative style and throw
light on his attitudes towards a wide range of autobiographical,
theatrical, political, economic and social topics. The
recollections, drawn from autobiographies, memoirs, diaries,
letters and other sources, build up a complex account of Shaw in
his various public and private roles.
