description: George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishes - coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In Mrs. Warren's Profession, Arms and the Man, Candida, and Man and Superman, the great playwright satirizes accepted attitudes toward woman's place in society, military heroism, marriage, the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the ages - as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.
