Plays by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness&#151;coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In <i>Mrs. Warren&#146;s Profession</i><i> Arms and the Man</i><i> Candida</i> and <i>Man and Superman</i> the great playwright satirizes society military heroism marriage and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social literary and theatrical standpoint these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the age&#151;as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.<br>&#160;<br>&#147;My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world.&#148;&#151;G. B. Shaw<br>&#160;<br><b>With an Introduction by Eric Bentley<br>and an Afterword by Norman Lloyd</b>
