ebooks Misalliance [with Biographical Introduction] by George Bernard Shaw in Arts-Photography

Description

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) is revered as one of the great British dramatists; credited not only with memorable works; but the revival of the then-suffering English theatre. Shaw was born in Dublin; Ireland; left mostly to his own devices after his mother ran off to London to pursue a musical career. He educated himself for the most part; and eventually worked for a real estate agent. This experience founded in him a concern for social injustices; seeing poverty and general unfairness afoot; and would go on to address this in many of his works. In 1876; Shaw joined his mother in London where he would finally attain literary success. Written the first decade of the twentieth century; "Misalliance" is a sort of continuation of another of Shaws play; "Getting Married". Set over the course of an afternoon; this play furthers Shaws opinion that divorce should be an easily attainable thing.
