Bernard Shaw: 1918-1950, the lure of fantasyThis work is the third of three volumes on the life of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), covering the last half of the 19th century. It opens with the United Kingdom's General Election campaign of 1918, and gradually reveals Shaw as conjuror, fabulist and seer. Here is Shaw in old age, a mysterious comic, but above all one of the greatest men of letters of this century. |
