Man and Superman

Man and Superman'' is a four-act drama written by George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950). The will of the late Mr Whitefield states that his daughter, Ann, is to be left in the care of Roebuck Ramsden and Jack Tanner. Ramsden is a respectable old man who distrusts Tanner, an eloquent gentleman full of revolutionary ideas. Despite Ramsden''s protestations, Ann agrees to let Tanner be her guardian and, after a resisting Tanners revolutionary ideas, marries him instead of her persistent admirer, a young man named Octavious Robinson. An engaging and interesting play sure to appeal to discerning drama fans, ''Man and Superman'' is a worthy addition to any collection and is not to be missed by fans of Shaw''s seminal work. Written in 1903, this book is proudly republished here, complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
