Bernard Shaw: The New Biography - Michael Holroyd [epub]

Playwright, wit, socialist, polemicist, vegetarian and charmer, Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was a controversial literary figure, the scourge of Victorian values and middle-class pretensions.

This is Michael Holroyd's essential biography of George Bernard Shaw. With its pace and verve, its comedy, drama and politics, it portrays a provocative and paradoxical figure sympathetically and movingly.

Bernard Shaw by Michael Holroyd was originally published in four volumes.
Volume 1 The Search for Love 1856–1898, Volume 2 The Pursuit of Power 1898–1918, Volume 3 The Lure of Fantasy 1918–1950, Volume 4 (Epilogue) The Last Laugh by Chatto & Windus © Michael Holroyd 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, and reprinted by Penguin Books Ltd in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993. This present edition is a substantial abridgement, with revisions, of the complete work by the author.
