From Library Journal
Well-known critic and writer Weintraub (The Last Great Victory, LJ 5/1/95) is also a Shaw scholar (Bernard Shaw: A Guide to Research, Pennsylvania State Univ. Pr., 1992) who has edited Shaw's diaries, autobiography, and critical work. In these essays, he examines Shaw's relationships with 12 contemporaries, including Queen Victoria, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Frank Harris, Sean O'Casey, and Winston Churchill. All of the essays except the one on Churchill have been previously published, though each has been revised and updated for this collection. Weintraub discusses how "Shaw's people" influenced him and his work and/or were influenced or aided by him. The discussion of Shaw's relationship with other Irish writers is of particular interest. This scholarly but jargon-free book will be useful for libraries with comprehensive British literature collections.
