Excerpt from Modern Men and MummersAs everyone knows, Shaw's longer plays and prefaces are penetrating studies of prevailing sociological conditions - all except three. The immense superiority of his Three Plays for Puritans over all his other works is so remarkable that I am amazed to find their peculiar significance passed over by every critic who has worried himself about Shaw. And yet to me it is the one outstand ing and immortal thing about the man. Of course he doesn't think so himself, but then he is his own worst critic. He prefers the formless dialectic of Getting Married and Misalliance to the deeper, simpler things of an earlier period.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
