A concise handbook surveys the plays of George Bernard Shaw, presenting each as drama rather than philosophical tract; it summarizes plots, characters, and staging, and situates Shaw in intellectual currents influenced by Darwin and Ibsen. The author offers brief critical notes, ordering choices, and a short biography of the dramatist, while also touching on his novels and miscellaneous writings. The tone is descriptive and practical, aimed at readers seeking accessible synopses and contextual background rather than new theoretical interpretations.
