Shaw began writing MAN AND SUPERMAN in 1901 and determined to write a play that
would encapsulate the new century's intellectual inheritance. Shaw drew not only
on Byron's verse satire, but also on Shakespeare, the Victorian comedy
fashionable in his early life, and from authors from Conan Doyle to Kipling. In
this powerful drama of ideas, Shaw explores the role of the artist, the function
of women in society, and his theory of Creative Evolution.
As Stanley Weintraub says in his new introduction, this is "the first great
twentieth-century English play" and remains a classic exposé of the eternal
struggle between the sexes.
