Audrey McNamara: Bernard Shaw, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Shaw emerged as a playwright in the politically charged environment of 1892, for both female suffrage and Irish independence. His plays quickly advocated for societal changes with regard to women s roles, while expanding this advocacy into considerations of Ireland. Shaw s engagement with marriage and union as a personal contract with nationhood have never before been considered as a methodology with which to view his work. This book demonstrates that Shaw was deeply engaged with and committed to the Irish question and to social and gender issues.
