A. M. Gibbs - Böcker

A scholarly edition of works by Sir William Davenant. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.

This study of Shaw is an attempt to provide a record of the impact Shaw made on his contemporaries and of the way in which he presented himself and his opinions in published interviews. Shaw is seen here through the eyes of many of his famous contemporaries as well as lesser-known witnesses. The interviews bear the stamp of Shaw's characteristically lively and provocative style and throw light on his attitudes towards a wide range of autobiographical, theatrical, political, economic and social topics. The recollections, drawn from autobiographies, memoirs, diaries, letters and other sources, build up a complex account of Shaw in his various public and private roles.
