Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dramatic Opinions and Essays, Vol. 1: Containing as Well a Word on the Dramatic Opinions and Essays of G. Bernard Shaw This book is composed of selections from the dramatic criticisms of Bernard Shaw, which appeared in the London Saturday Review, beginning January 5th, 1895, and ending May 21st, 1898 - a notable period in the history of that journal, for it inaugurated the regime of Frank Harris, and the advent of such brilliant writers as Shaw, Harris, MacColl, Runciman, Cunninghame Graham, and other distinguished spirits. Bernard Shaw did not burst like a meteor upon the British metropolis; he was known and admired in certain circles before he took to the cart and trumpet. He was a bold man in the ranks of Socialists; he wrote novels and plays; he criticized music and pictures and, as he confesses, he lived through it all; indeed, he waxed strong therefrom. But he admits that the theatre nearly killed him. For over three years he sat in the seat of the critical mighty and filled his eyes and ears with bad, mad, and mediocre plays. His famous hob-nailed Alpine shoes worn for the purpose of tramping London picture galleries, failed him in the theatre. His soul grew soggy, his bones softened; and after an accident he threw over his self-imposed task with a gasp of relief and the stalls knew him no more.
