	Shaw, George Bernard. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Born in Dublin, Shaw was the son of an unsuccessful merchant; his mother was a singer who eventually left her husband to teach singing in London.
		Shaw was himself an ardent socialist, a member of the Fabian Society, and a popular public speaker on behalf of socialism.
		Of Shaw’s later plays, Saint Joan (1923) is the most memorable; it argues that Joan of Arc, a harbinger of Protestantism and nationalism, had to be killed because the world was not yet ready for her.

	George Bernard Shaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Bernard Shaw (July 26, 1856 – November 2, 1950) was an Irish playwright and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.

	The Playwright in Spite of Himself: George Bernard Shaw: Man, Superman, and--Vegetarian?
		Shaw became one of the earliest members of the Fabian Society, a group of middle-class socialists, which was named after the Roman general Quintus Fabius Maximus, famous for advocating a war of attrition over direct confrontation with Hannibal.
		Shaw classified these early efforts as "Plays Unpleasant," as they focus on unpleasant ideas, though he could have called them with equal accuracy "Plays Unsuccessful." In part, this was because he conceived of characters not as flesh-and-blood human beings but as mouthpieces for conflicting political and social points of view.
		Shaw recognized that another means of expanding his influence was to print his plays with detailed introductions and stage directions articulating his views, thus fusing two genres, the polemical essay with the drama.

	Shaw, George Bernard
		Shaw called these first plays "unpleasant," because "their dramatic power is used to force the spectator to face unpleasant facts." He followed them with four "pleasant" plays in an effort to find the producers and audiences that his mordant comedies had offended.
		This is a significant theme for Shaw; it leads on to that of the conflict between man as spiritual creator and woman as guardian of the biological continuity of the human race that is basic to Man and Superman.
		Impudent, irreverent, and always a showman, Shaw used his buoyant wit to keep himself in the public eye to the end of his 94 years; his wiry figure, bristling beard, and dandyish cane were as well-known throughout the world as his plays.

		Bernard F. Dukore is University Distinguished Professor of Theater Arts and Humanities at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virgina.
