George Bernard Shaw and His Work-an over View of His Major Plays Arpna Deepak

The English public has commonly professed, with a kind of pride, that it cannot understand Mr. Bernard Shaw. There are many reasons for it which ought to be adequately considered in such a book as this. But the first and most obvious reason is the mere statement that George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin in 1856. At least one reason why Englishmen cannot understand Mr. Shaw is that Englishmen have never taken the trouble to understand Irishmen. They will sometimes be generous to Ireland; but never just to Ireland. They will speak to Ireland; they will speak for Ireland; but they will not hear Ireland speak. The aim of the book entitled ?George Bernard Shaw and His Work-An Over View of His Major Plays? is to acquaint the readers with the developments in that direction.
