GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Playwright Bernard Shaw writes asking for another
appointment.
Autograph Letter Signed: "G. Bernard Shaw", 1p, 3½x5½. 4
Whitehall Court, London, 1940 August 8. To Hugh Westoby Jr. In full:
"You must give me another appointment. The new things have gone quite mad
after behaving themselves for a day or two. Wednesday afternoon, or
Thursday or Friday, preferably Wednesday." Addresses in Shaw's
hand: "Hugh Wesoby Jr/140 Park Lane/W. 1./London" The plays of
Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) were
characteristically instructional, often including a teacher role model, such
as Henry Higgins in the popular Pygmalion (1913), which was later
adapted as the musical, My Fair Lady (1956; film 1964). Shaw began
writing plays in 1892. His first, Widowers' Houses, voiced his
opinions on society and world reform. Throughout his 58 years as a
playwright, Shaw, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925,
covered many topics, letting his humor speak for itself. His other major works
include You Never Can Tell (1895), Man and Superman (1902),
Major Barbara (1905), The Doctor's Dilemma (1906) and Saint
Joan (1923). Lightly creased and worn at corners. Fine
condition.
