Bernard Shaw: Playwright and Preacher

By: Hugo, Leon

It was Shaw's general contention that all great art was didactic; it was his specific contention that he wrote plays to convert people to his opinions on 'Social Economy', 'Political Economy' and 'Vital Economy'. In this study of Bernard Shaw's plays, first published in 1971, Leon Hugo examines the implications of these contentions.
