An Exploration of the Art of George Bernard Shaw

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In The Shavian Playground, originally published in 1972, Shaw's plays are examined as self-contained imaginative structures intended for theatrical performance. Beginning with a consideration of his novels, the book covers the whole span of Shaw's career as a dramatist playing special attention to critically and theatrically neglected plays, and offering fresh interpretations of others.
