George Bernard Shaw: His Plays

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Bernard Shaw: His Plays (1905) is H. L. Mencken's interpretation of G. Bernard Shaw's plays.

Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism negatively reviewed the book, criticizing it as being little more than a summary of the plays with little outside analysis.[1] The Courier-Journal praised its style of writing, saying it was comparable to Shaw's own.[2] The San Francisco Call and Post criticized the introduction, saying the way it was written "does not give you much assurance that he has a seriously good judgment".[3]
