Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Moderns Essays in Literary Criticism Mr. Shaw has told us so much about himself, and told it so often, that any commentary by another may seem superfluous. But since all that he has said in this way has been said for the avowed purpose of calling attention to his work and advertising its merits, we may be pardoned for considering the work and the commentary together. He is accepted as an oracle, he would have us believe, only because he has so insistently claimed oracular authority; but to take this without question is to neglect the modesty lurking in his defiant egotism, and to overlook the fact that for many people the simplest truism glittering with his phrase seems inspired. Naturally he deals much in truism, though he often contrives an elusive disguise for it; and we have his own urgent repudiation of originality in regard to a dozen things of which the discovery is flatteringly attributed to him. Some of these things we shall be considering in a moment: here it need only be said that Mr. Shaw, like many less egotistical authors, is not a wholly impartial witness.
