A weekly series on the Arts 6: Man or Superman?
Yesterday The Bodley Head published Volume 2 of the new authorised edition of Bernard Shaw 's Plays and Prefaces, and the final volume of his later autobiographical writings. Why did this man. whose ideas have made such an impact on his own and succeeding generations, choose the play as his main form of expression?
