Intellectual Love Letters,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is a collection of letters exchanged between George Bernard Shaw (GBS) and Mrs. Patrick Campbell (Stella); I hesitate to say "love letters" because although it is clear that Shaw and Stella adored each other, these letters were not love letters in the traditional sense. Although GBS was in fact married and Stella a widow, the magnetic pull that kept these two spirits together is clear when reading their letters. Both were successful on their own in their craft, but the witty, razor-sharp and yet somehow romatic exchanges between the two are second to none. These letters make the reader wonder just what else was happening between GBS and Stella when they did meet face to face and make you wish that they had both said to hell with convention and ran away together. If you want to read an "intellectual love story" between two legends of the ealry 1900's theatre...this is the book for you. I hope someday to receive a letter half as clever as those from GBS to Stella!
