Good for the reference shelf. 31 July 2010

By Peebee - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought the book to be able to read the actual text of "Mrs. Warren's Profession", which I had just seen. The texts of three other Shaw classics (Maj. B., Pyg., & Arms) were a fine dividend, hence my comment that the book is a good addition to the reference shelf. However, the accompanying materials were of decidedly mixed value. Shaw's notes, as usual, made good reading, and the quotes from contemporary performance reviews, especially for Mrs. Warren, were quite colorful. The rest of the articles, which I suppose are samples of Literary Criticism, made me glad I chose Physics as a profession. They were dull, turgid, and dry - academic English at its worst. I bogged down early. Of course, they are now decades old; fashions may have changed.

Shaw 23 July 2009

By P. B. McCaffery - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

George Bernard Shaw was a master playwright. This little book contains but a sampling of his complete opus, but it is a good place to start for appreciating the man and his ideas. Disagree with him at your own peril; it is a sword-fight always whether you do or don't.
