Both men were intristic dramatists who shared a rich and abiding respect for the stage. Shakespeare was the produce of a tempestuous and enlightening era under the reign of his patron, Queen Elizabeth I. while G.B.S. reflected the racy and risque spirt of the late 19th century as the champion of modern drama by playwrights like Ibsen, and, later, himself. Culled from Shaw's reviews, prefaces, letters to actors and critics, and other writings, SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE offers a fascinating and unforgettable portrait of the 16th century playwright by his most outspoken critic. This is a witty and provocative classic that combines Shaw's prodigious critical acumen with a superlative prose style second to none. except, perhaps, Shakespeare.

"Met die enkele uitsondering van Homer, is daar geen vooraanstaande skrywer, nie eens Sir Walter Scott, wat ek so heeltemal soos ek verag Shakespeare toe ek meet my gedagtes teen sy kan minag. "- Van SHAW op Shakespeare bekroonde dramaturg, kritikus en essayis George Bernard Shaw was meer soos die Elizabethaanse meester dat hy ooit sou erken. Albei mans was intristic dramaturge wat 'n ryk en blywende respek gedeel vir die verhoog. Shakespeare was die opbrengs van 'n stormagtige en insiggewend era onder die heerskappy van sy beskermheer, Koningin Elizabeth I. terwyl G.B.S. weerspieël die haastige en risque opspuiten van die laat 19de eeu as die kampioen van die moderne drama deur dramaturge soos Ibsen, en later self. Uitgeskot van Shaw se resensies, voorwoorde, briewe aan akteurs en kritici, en ander geskrifte, SHAW op Shakespeare bied 'n fassinerende en onvergeetlike portret van die 16de eeu dramaturg deur sy mees uitgesproke kritikus. Dit is 'n pittige en uitdagende klassieke wat 'n kombinasie Shaw se ontsaglike kritieke vernuf met 'n oortreffende prosa styl vir niemand. behalwe, miskien, Shakespeare.
