註釋
George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness—coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In
Mrs. Warren’s Profession
,
Arms and the Man
,
Candida
, and
Man and Superman
, the great playwright satirizes society, military heroism, marriage, and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the age—as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.
“My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world.”—G. B. Shaw

and an Afterword by Norman Lloyd
