Download or read book Shaw Offstage written by Fred D. Crawford and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest volume of SHAW emphasizes Shaw's mastery of nondramatic forms. In "My Dear Dorothea: Shaw's Earliest Sketch," Laura Tahir examines Shaw's first sustained literary effort, an instructional tract for the moral education of a young girl. Ray Bradbury introduces Shaw's "The Best Books for Children," a previously unpublished essay offering thoughts on children's literature. Stanley Weintraub evaluates Shaw's political ballads, published anonymously in the Star in 1588-89. Included in the volume are Shaw's contribution to The Salt of the Earth, a collaborative novel published in the World in 1890 introduced by Fred D. Crawford, and "Civilization and the Soldier," an essay reflecting on the nature of the British Empire in the context of the Boer War. Lee W. Saperstein introduces Shaw's previously unpublished "Orkney and Shetland," a short travel guide that Shaw wrote for the Royal Automobile Club. Shaw's nondramatic writing frequently illuminates the plays. Stuart E. Baker analyzes The Quintessence of Ibsenism to define Shavian realism as it applies to the plays, and Michael J. Holland explores Shaw's short fiction to trace the early development of techniques that served Shaw well in his drama. Howard Ira Einsohn looks at the relationship between The Intelligent Woman's Guide and The Apple Cart. Three articles examine Shaw's nondramatic concerns in a biographical and historical context. In "The Black Girl and Some Lesser Quests: 1932-1934," Leon H. Hugo traces the origin of The Black Girl. Vivian Ducat's "Bernard Shaw and the King's English" tells of Shaw's involvement with the BBC Advisory Committee on Spoken English. In "The Bernard Shaw/Edward Gordon Craig Feud," James Fisher explores Shaw and Craig's public and private relationship, which included disagreements involving dramatic theory and the publication of the Shawl Terry correspondence. SHAW 9 emphasizes Shaw's mastery of nondramatic forms and shows the extent to which, for Shaw, drama remained only one of many vehicles available for conveying the Shavian viewpoint.

Download or read book The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God written by Bernard Shaw and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So controversial was Black Girl when it first appeared in 1932 that it provoked public outcry with Shaw decried as a blasphemer. Today, it remains a surprisingly irreverent depiction of the universal search for God. Dissatisfied with the teachings of respectable white missionaries, an African girl embarks upon her own quest for God and Truth. Journeying through the forest, she encounters various religious figures, each one seeking to convert her to their own brand of faith. This brilliantly sardonic allegory showcases some of Shaw's most unorthodox thoughts on religion and race. George Bernard Shaw (1856?1950) is best known for his dramatic works, of which Pygmalion is the most famous.
