Download or read book George Bernard Shaw in Context written by Brad Kent and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When George Bernard Shaw died in 1950, the world lost one of its most well-known authors, a revolutionary who was as renowned for his personality as he was for his humour, humanity, and rebellious thinking. He remains a compelling figure who deserves attention not only for how influential he was in his time, but for how relevant he is to ours. This collection sets Shaw's life and achievements in context, with forty-two scholarly essays devoted to subjects that interested him and defined his work. Contributors explore a wide range of themes, moving from factors that were formative in Shaw's life, to the artistic work that made him most famous and the institutions with which he worked, to the political and social issues that consumed much of his attention, and, finally, to his influence and reception. Presenting fresh material and arguments, this collection will point to new directions of research for future scholars.

Download or read book George Bernard Shaw and the Socialist Theatre written by Tracy C. Davis and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994-07-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Bernard Shaw written by Stanley Weintraub and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1988-06-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive annotated bibliography of works by and about Bernard Shaw. No book has appeared before that has surveyed all of the research and writing that the life and work of Bernard Shaw have evoked. The greatest dramaturgist in English after Shakespeare, Shaw was one of the dominant public figures of his time, a long lifetime (1856-1950) that began in the mid-Victorian period and extended into the Atomic Age. Inevitably, someone who straddled his age so visibly and so memorably, and whose works retain a continuing fascination, has been the subject of thousands of articles and hundreds of books, from criticism of individual works to multivolume biographies, editions, and studies. Stanley Weintraub has distilled his forty years of experience of Shaw studies to bring them into useful focus and sort out the significant writings from the burgeoning mass of publications. This book is an essential tool for both scholars and general readers interested in the multifarious world of Shaw. Readers will not only find out what has been done, but what still remains to be accomplished in Shaw studies; what Shaw's influence has been on other writers; even where Shaw has appeared as a character in other writers' poetry, fiction, and drama.

Download or read book George Bernard Shaw: A Very Short Introduction written by Christopher Wixson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Bernard Shaw has been called the second greatest playwright in English (after William Shakespeare) and one of the inventors of modern celebrity as the most famous public intellectual of his time. Beginning in the 1880s, as a critic and as a playwright, he transformed British drama, bringing to it intellectual substance, ethical imperatives, and modernity itself, setting the theatrical course for the subsequent century. That his legacy endures seventy years after his death is testament to the prescience of his thinking and his prolific creativity. This Very Short Introduction looks at Shaw's life, starting with his upbringing in Ireland, and then takes a chronological approach through his works. Considering Shaw's committed antagonism on behalf of a range of socio-political issues; his use of comedy as a mode for communicating serious ideas; and his rhetorical style that pushes conventional boundaries, Christopher Wixson provides an overview of the creative evolution of core themes throughout Shaw's long career. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Book excerpt: Notes from The Book Review Digest, Vol. 22 (1915): "Mr. Howe's work is severely critical; no words are wasted on biographical details. Mr. Shaw's novels and plays are considered in chapters on Economics, Aesthetics, and Dramatics and there is a final chapter. The secret in the poet's heart. The author's final estimate of Shaw is that while he has "edified and delighted his age," he has not "profoundly affected it. Fourteen books have already been written on the subject of Mr. Shaw, and few are more than five years old. We believe we are justified in saying that Mr. Howe's treatment of the subject is the treatment which would most commend itself to Mr. Shaw. It Is a study of ideas, not a hotchpotch of gossip and rhapsody. On the whole it is just and unbiased, amusingly written, and not lacking in profundity."
