Three of Eugène Brieux’s plays of social criticism: Maternity, on enforced motherhood; The Three Daughters of M. Dupont, on marriage as a money bargain; and Damaged Goods, the play about syphilis that scandalised audiences. Bernard Shaw’s preface hails Brieux as the greatest French dramatist since Molière.
Bold, still-relevant drama with one of Shaw’s most spirited essays, a different selection from the other Brieux volume on the site. Download the free EPUB.
