Shaw meticulously applied his comprehensive knowledge of the intricacies of writing and publishing (composition, typesetting, style, themes, censorship) and in the process produced an extensive array of critical works spanning more than fifty years. Always with an axe to grind--whether aesthetic, ethical, or otherwise--Shaw tested the boundaries of satire in his critical essays, occasionally locking horns as a result with some of the most prominent authors of his lifetime. Displaying wit and wisdom in equal proportions, some of his reviews remain fresh even though the authors and books they appraised have long since fallen into oblivion. Shaw's views about literature challenged established conventions of the canon and helped to shape a renewed collective concept of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Critical Shaw\u003c\/i\u003e series brings together, in five volumes and from a wide range of sources, selections from Bernard Shaw's voluminous writings on topics that exercised him for the whole of his professional career: Literature, Music, Politics, Religion, and Theater. The volumes are edited by leading Shaw scholars, and all include an introduction, a chronology of Shaw's life and works, annotated texts, and a bibliography. The series editor is L.W. Conolly, literary adviser to the Shaw Estate and former president of the International Shaw Society.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed Irish playwright and Nobel laureate \u003cb\u003eBernard Shaw\u003c\/b\u003e has left an indelible mark on Western theater, culture, and politics.
