This collection presents a cross-section of Shaw's most important theater work-Mrs. Warren's Profession, Man and Superman, Major Barbara, and Pygmalion.

Publisher Marketing: Each play is fully annotated. "Contexts and Criticism" features all-new material on the author and his work, from traditional critical readings to more theorized approaches, among them essays on Shaw's Fabianism and his alleged feminism. Contributors include Leon Hugo, Sally Peters, Tracy C. Davis, John A. Bertolini, Stanley Weintraub, and J. Ellen Gainor. A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are included.

Contributor Bio:  Shaw, George Bernard George Bernard Shaw (1856 1950), Irish-born playwright, critic, and political activist, began his writing career in London. In addition to writing sixty-three plays, his prodigious output as critic, pamphleteer, and essayist influenced numerous social issues. In 1925, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature and in 1938 an Oscar for the movie version of "Pygmalion". Contributor Bio:  Byrne, Sandie Sandie Byrne is Fellow and Tutor in English at Balliol College, Oxford University. She is the author of Tony Harrison: Loiner, H., V., and O.: The Poetry of Tony Harrison, the Icon Reader's Guide to Ted Hughes, and the Icon Reader's Guide to Mansfield Park. Contributor Bio:  Shaw, Bernard George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 - 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short story writer. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems with a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable. Issues which engaged Shaw's attention included education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege.
