Paperback. Zustand: Good. Holroyd has done a masterly job of cutting down his huge biography to a lively and manageable one-volume life - the definitive Shaw for the general reader and the student. It has verve and pace, the light and shade of his life are emphasized, digressions cut, and Shaw comes over just as much larger than life as he always was, just as contrary, and even more sympathetically and movingly portrayed.

The author's authorized abridgement and revision of his monumental life of George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), the Dublin-born playwright, critic, polemicist, vegetarian, Fabian socialist, and Nobel laureate. Holroyd's four-volume original was hailed as a masterpiece on first publication, with William Golding predicting that it would take its place "among the great biographies." This one-volume distillation tracks Shaw from his unsettled Dublin childhood (his father a drunk, his mother in thrall to the Svengali-like music teacher Vandeleur Lee), through his London reinvention as the legendary G.B.S. and his early career as novelist, music critic (Corno di Bassetto), Ibsenite drama critic, and Fabian polemicist; his marriage to Charlotte Payne-Townsend in 1898; the great campaigning plays (Man and Superman, Major Barbara, The Doctor's Dilemma, John Bull's Other Island, Pygmalion); his loves for Ellen Terry, Mrs Patrick Campbell, and others; and the late years through the 1925 Nobel Prize, Saint Joan, and his 1950 death. Illustrated with 20 pages of photographic plates including portraits of Jenny Patterson, Alice Lockett, Charlotte Payne-Townsend, Sir Henry Irving, Lillah McCarthy, Erica Cotterill, Molly Tompkins, and Harley Granville-Barker. …

When Michael Holroyd's multi-volume life of Bernard Shaw was published, it was hailed as a masterpeice, and William Golding predicted that it would take its place 'among the great biographies'. Now the biography is available for the first time in a lively and accessible abridgement by the author. This is the quintessence of Shaw.
