Abstract

Shaw's plays usually develop a single idea on which he hammers until it is beaten into shape. It is the aim of the writer to take the ideas Shaw has built his dramas upon and consider them as a criticism of life from the ec­onomic, moral and social point of view.

To attempt to write this thesis means to go over ground that has been covered repeatedly. Indebtedness is acknowledged for the following books which have been of most value in the preparation of this thesis: Chesterton: George Bernard Shaw; Shanks: Bernard Shaw; Various mag­azine articles. The plays of Bernard Shaw have been a source of great help.

In going over this material careful consideration has been given to the criticism given by the various critics.
