Author: first_name: H. L.

Year: 1905

“George Bernard Shaw: His Plays” by H. L. Mencken (1905) is an early critical study of Shaw’s work and ideas. Mencken, who admired Shaw’s sharp wit and fearless social criticism, explores Shaw’s major plays up to that time, analyzing their themes, characters, and political messages.
The book is lively, opinionated, and witty, much like Shaw himself. It’s part biography, part literary criticism, and part celebration of Shaw’s role as a revolutionary voice in modern theatre.
