Major Political Writings by George Bernard Shaw (English) Paperback Book

Description: Major Political Writings by George Bernard Shaw, Elizabeth Carolyn Miller A new collection of Shaws major political writings which reflect on his long career and influential role as a public intellectual. These essays reveal significant shifts in his positions and beliefs from the Victorian era to the aftermath of World War II. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A new collection of Shaws major political writings presents an opportunity to reflect on his influential role as a public intellectual. At the forefront of economic and political debate from the 1880s to the 1950s, George Bernard Shaw was once the most widely read socialist writer in the English language, and his lifelong crusade against inequality and exploitation is far from irrelevant today. The thorough interpenetration of Shaws literary and politicalengagements is an unusual story in modern literature, and this volume offers a portrait of Shaw as a political artist in the purest possible sense: that is, as a writer of essays, articles, pamphlets, andbooks with explicitly and expressly political aims. The selected writings in this volume showcase Shaws most influential and most accomplished political work, but also provide a cross-section that is representative of the whole of his long career.
