Introduction -- The invention of GBS -- Revolt into style: GBS versus England -- After the revolution: GBS versus Ireland -- The thinking cap and the jester's bells: Shaw's theatre -- GBS's war on poverty -- The death and resurrection of gBS -- The lethal chamber: the dark side of GBS -- The air we breathe: judging GBS.
"GBS was the first great brand - discover how he created this most modern of concepts. The timing of Judging Shaw is fortuitous, as it will serve to reintroduce GBS to an Irish and international readership. The book is an interesting, informative, and well-written survey of Shaw/GBS and will be a welcome addition to the library of those who know Bernard Shaw perhaps only as the author of Pygmalion, his most popular and frequently performed play. The fourth book in the Royal Irish Academy's award winning 'Judging' series looks at the legacy of George Bernard Shaw, Nobel prizewinner for literature."-- Provided by publisher.
