Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Special Edition. Condition: Apart from some shelf wear, the book is unread and in very good condition. Red cloth boards and part of the series published by Constable and Co. in 1951. Synopsis: This collection by George Bernard Shaw comprises Heartbreak House, Great Catherine, and Playlets of War. Heartbreak House offers a critique of early 20th-century European society as it approached the First World War. Great Catherine satirizes the historical figure of Catherine the Great, and by extension, the political landscape of the Russian court. The Playlets of War provide satirical perspectives on conflict, examining themes such as duty, heroism, and the inherent absurdity of warfare. Shaw's characteristic wit and social commentary are evident throughout these works, furnishing both entertainment and astute observations regarding societal norms and historical events. The collection showcases Shaw's diverse dramatic styles, encompassing both tragicomedy and historical satire.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'These highbrows must remember that there is a demand for little things as well as for big things'George Bernard Shaw was one of the leading playwrights and public intellectuals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He helped propel drama towards the unexpected, into a realm where it might shock audiences into new viewpoints and into fresh understandings of society. Throughout his long writing career Shaw wrote short plays, ranging in length from 1000-word puppet play, Shakes Versus Shav, to the 12,000-word suffragette comedy, Press Cuttings. These plays can be taken to illuminate Shaw's life and legacy, from ideas about war and patriotism in O'Flaherty, V.C. to censorship in The Shewing up of Blanco Posset.Surveying Shaw's entire career of writing short dramas, focusing especially on those years when his work in the form was particularly prolific (around 1909 and during the First World War), this collection places Shaw's short plays broadly into four key areas: farces, historical sketches, war dramas, and Shakespearean shorts. For each of these areas, the volume explores Shaw's aesthetic and thematic concerns, the precise historical and generic contexts in which the works were written, the major criticism and scholarship that has subsequently emerged, and the most notable stage and screen productions. This collection reveals how a playwright often criticized for being too wordy was actually a master of the short form.…
