v. 1 ISBN 9780701133320

内容説明

This is the first volume of the authorized three-volume life of George Bernard Shaw, the playwright, wit, socialist, vegetarian and polemicist. It covers the first 41 years of his life, from his birth and childhood in Dublin to his marriage in 1898 to the Irish heiress and fellow socialist, Charlotte Payne-Townshend. Having followed his mother to London, tried his hand as a novelist, become a controversial theatre critic and a founder member of the Fabian Society, won fame as an outspoken music critic and struck up friendships and rivalries with the Webbs, William Morris, Frank Harris, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and Eleanor Marx, he begins to establish his reputation as one of the best-known dramatists in English since Shakespeare. The biographer, Michael Holroyd has also written "Hugh Kingsmill", "Lytton Strachey" and "Augustus John".

v. 2 ISBN 9780701133504

内容説明

This is the second volume of a set of three on the life of Bernard Shaw which starts at the beginning of Shaw's marriage in 1898 and finishes at the end of the First World War. This is the period of his middle plays, including "Caesar and Cleopatra","Man and Superman", "Major Barbara", of his theatrical partnership with Granville-Barker at the Court, his comradeship and rivalry with H.G.Wells and his jousting friendship with G.K.Chesterton. The author describes how his activities on the Fabian front help to advance socialism in Britain and how his intense passion for Mrs Patrick Campbell almost destroys his marriage. Later he takes to risky exploits in his automobile and on his motorbike as he travels round the Continent from his new home at Ayot St Lawrence. By 1914, Shaw, the author of "Pygmalion" was the most popular writer in England and yet by 1915 the author of "Common Sense and the War" was considered a traitor and treated as an outcast. The author also wrote "Bernard Shaw, The Search for Love" and biographies on Lytton Strachey and Augustus John.
