Excerpt from Bernard Shaw the Man and the Mask The following pages attempt to give within limits somewhat sharply drawn a definite idea of the personality, the work, and the meaning of a dramatist of our day who has gained distinction, invited abuse, and secured in excess the dubious compliment of misrepresentation. SO far as the book can claim to be a contribution to the subject, it may base it on the succinctness of the presenta tion; the analyses of the plays in chronologic sequence, technic as well as teaching and literary quality in mind; and upon the chapters in which respectively Shaw's craft as an artist of the thea tre and his intellectual significance as publicist and philosopher are studied. No one can write a book on Bernard Shaw with out acknowledging the inevitable obligation to Dr. Archibald Henderson, the authoritative biographer Of the playwright, and the man best fitted to de cide any question pertaining to him. The present writer renders grateful thanks to Dr. Henderson for his quick and generous giving of information not otherwise to be secured: a debt as pleasant as it is imperative to pay in this preface.

First Published in 1963 A Guide to the Plays of Bernard Shaw is a descriptive and critical account of Bernard Shaw’s work as a playwright. The leading ideas contained in the plays are discussed because they are relevant to the work of the dramatist, and the author has also commented on their original production as they were mostly done under Shaw’s direction. Author argues that if Shaw were to be reincarnated as a dramatic critic he would only too often be as scathing of the treatment of his plays upon the stage today as was G.B.S. when writing of the Shakespeare productions in the London theatre. This book is a must read for students of English literature.
