Book Reviews of George Bernard Shaw's Plays (Norton Critical Editions)
Book Review: Shaw
Summary: 5 Stars
George Bernard Shaw was a master playwright. This little book contains but a sampling of his complete opus, but it is a good place to start for appreciating the man and his ideas. Disagree with him at your own peril; it is a sword-fight always whether you do or don't.
