His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. After working in an estate agent's office for a while, he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen (The Quintessence of Ibsenism, 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely attack social hypocrisy, while in plays such as Arms and the Man and The Man of Destiny the criticism is less fierce. Shaw's radical rationalism, his utter disregard of conventions, his keen dialectic interest and verbal wit often turn the stage into a forum of ideas, and nowhere more openly than in the famous discourses on the Life Force, «Don Juan in Hell», the third act of the dramatization of woman's love chase of man, Man and Superman (1903). He is the only person to have been awarded both the Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938). These were for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film Pygmalion, respectively. Shaw would have refused his Nobel Prize outright, because he had no desire for public honors, but accepted it at his wife's behest: she considered it a tribute to Ireland. He did reject the monetary award, requesting it be used to finance translation of Swedish books to English.1 1 “George Bernard Shaw: The Nobel Prize in Literature 1925”, Nobelprize.org, http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1925/shaw-bio.html 080732 Bibliotheca Alexandrina Compiled by Hadir Ashraf 2 Selected Materials Available at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Books by the Author Plays: Shaw, Bernard.

  • Edwardian Comedy and Progressive Politics
    Back to the Future: Edwardian Comedy and Progressive Politics by Rachel McArthur A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Rachel McArthur 2018 Back to the Future: Edwardian Comedy and Progressive Politics Rachel McArthur Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The Edwardian period is often figured as a garden party broken up by the First World War. Looking back on the early twentieth century from the perspective of the twenty first, a different, strikingly contemporary picture emerges: amidst social and technological change, world capitals were haunted by the threat of instability and economic inequality, while the political left faced urgent questions about its continued relevance. Contrary to the image of the period as complacent on the brink of disaster, my dissertation asserts that the Edwardians were deeply invested in building a better future through both political reform and literary comedy. Both comedy and progressive reform look toward the future; in both cases, the Edwardians negotiated between convention and innovation to attempt to create a more equitable future. The dissertation ultimately illustrates the crucial role of the period in literary history and how its lessons may inform our own, which it much resembles. In order to do so, my readings of specifically Edwardian texts are situated in relation to larger historical narratives of both comedy as a genre and political reform. The first chapter reads George Meredith’s “Essay on Comedy” (1877) and The Egoist (1879) alongside Gladstonian Liberal reforms. Like those interventions, the “Essay” looks toward beneficial changes within existing traditions, while The Egoist puts them into practice.

  • Women and Life Force in Shaw‟S „Widower's House‟ and „Man and Superman' Niraja Saraswat ABSTRACT Literature Can Be
    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.3/ NO.1/Spring 2013 Women and Life Force in Shaw‟s „Widower’s House‟ and „Man and Superman’ Niraja Saraswat ABSTRACT Literature can be seen as a barometer of the time, it holds the views and opinions dear to each author. George Bernard Shaw was a writer who did not care what waves he made because he wanted that turbulence. In his classic work „Man and Superman‟ Shaw used character interactions to voice his objections to common institutions. There is more to this play than a love story and a son‟s struggle for his father‟s approval. The present paper discusses the women in his two plays viz. Ann in „Man and Superman‟ and Blanche in „Widower‟s House‟ who pursue their heartthrobs to ensure the continuance of the race and its improvement through evolution. Since centuries, women have been looked down upon as the 'Object' and men the „Subject‟; selecting women for marriage and love without any conscious approach of knowing women's wish and will. Shaw has turned the table by giving his women characters an open platform to put their own choice of their mates. Romance in the plays of Thomas Robertson, Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) ISSN 2249-4529, Vol.3/ NO.1/Spring2013 URL of the Issue: http://pintersociety.com/vol-3-no-1spring-2013/ URL of the article: http://pintersociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Niraja-Saraswat-11.pdf © www.pintersociety.com 1 Women and Life Force in Shaw‟s „Widower’s House‟ and „Man and Superman’ Arnold Bennett, Edward Knoblock, Edward Bulwer Lytton and James Sheridan Knowles etc.
