Written for busy Americans curious about the plays everyone was arguing over, Mencken’s little handbook goes through Shaw’s early dramas one by one, from Widowers’ Houses and Mrs. Warren’s Profession to Arms and the Man, The Devil’s Disciple and Caesar and Cleopatra, summarising each and testing its ideas.
An early book by Mencken that already crackles with his style, and a handy guide to Shaw. Download the free EPUB.
