Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Exclusive to Penguin Classics: the definitive text of the first great twentieth-century English play and a classic expos? of the eternal struggle between the sexes-part of the official Bernard Shaw LibraryA Penguin ClassicAfter the death of her father, Ann Whitefield becomes the joint ward of two men: the respectable Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner, author of The Revolutionists Handbook. Believing marriage would prevent him from achieving his higher intellectual and political ambitions, Tanner is horrified to discover that Ann intends to marry him, and he flees to Spain with the determined young woman in hot pursuit. The chase even leads them to the underworld, where the characters alter egos discuss questions of human nature and philosophy in a lively debate in a scene often performed separately as Don Juan in Hell. In Man and Superman, Shaw combined seriousness with comedy to create a satirical and buoyant expos? of the eternal struggle between the sexes.This is the definitive text produced under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. The volume also includes Shaws preface of 1903 and his appendix, The Revolutionists Handbook; the cast list from the first production of Man and Superman; and a list of his principal works.
