Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. Shaw was a freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Shaw accepted the honour but refused the money. "Just as the historian can teach no real history until he has cured his readers of the romantic delusion that the greatness of a queen consists in her being a pretty woman and having her head cut off, so the playwright of the first order can do nothing with his audience until he has cured them of looking at the stage through the keyhole, and sniffing round the theatre as prurient people sniff round the divorce court." (from G.B. Shaw's preface in Three Plays by Brieux George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin, where he grew up in something close to genteel poverty. "I am a typical Irishman; my family came from Yorkshire," Shaw once said. His father, George Carr Shaw, was in the wholesale grain trade. Lucinda Elisabeth (Gurly) Shaw, his mother, was the daughter of an impoverished landowner. She was 16-years younger than her husband. George Carr was a drunkard - his example prompted his son to become a teetotaller. When he died in 1885, his children and wife did not attend his funeral. Young Shaw and his two sisters were brought up mostly by servants. Shaw's mother eventually left the family home to teach music, singing, in London. When she died in 1913, Shaw confessed to Mrs. Patrick Campbell: "I must write to you about it, because there is no one else who didn't hate her mother, and even who doesn't hate her children."

International Vegetarian Union History of Vegetarianism George Bernard Shaw From the archives of The Vegetarian Society UK: The Summer of 1946 seems to have been a season of anniversaries and memorials. The Vegetarian Society itself was looking forward to its 100th anniversary and giving its members advance warnings of celebratory plans. But the big story of the July issue of The Vegetarian Messenger was the tribute to George Bernard Shaw, celebrating his 90th birthday on the 26th of that month. He had, at that time, been a vegetarian for 66 years and was commended as one of the great thinkers and dramatists of his era. "No writer since Shakespearean times has produced such a wealth of dramatic literature, so superb in expression, so deep in thought and with such dramatic possibilities as Shaw." The writer was a staunch vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist and opponent of cruel sports.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was born in Dublin, the son of a civil servant. His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. After working in an estate agent's office for a while he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen ( The Quintessence of Ibsenism , 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely attack social hypocrisy, while in plays such as Arms and the Man and The Man of Destiny Man and Superman In the plays of his later period discussion sometimes drowns the drama, in Back to Methuselah (1921), although in the same period he worked on his masterpiece

George Bernard Shaw George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playright and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1925. Born in Dublin, Shaw moved to London during the 1870s to embark on his literary career. He wrote five novels, all of which were rejected, before finding his first success as a music critic on the Star newspaper. In the meantime he had become involved in politics, and served as a local councillor in the St Pancras district of London for several years from 1897. He was a noted socialist who took a leading role in the Fabian Society. In 1895, he became the drama critic of the Saturday Review , and this was the first step in his progress towards a lifetime's work as a dramatist. In 1898, he married an Irish heiress, Charlotte Payne-Townshend, and his first successful play, Candida , was produced in the same year. He followed this up with a series of classic comedy-dramas, including The Devil's Disciple Arms and the Man Mrs Warren's Profession Captain Brassbound's Conversion Man and Superman Caesar and Cleopatra Major Barbara Androcles and the Lion (1912), and

George Bernard Shaw E La siguiente década de su vida estuvo marcada por una pobreza rayana en la miseria. Ni las críticas de música (en las que utilizaba como seudónimo el apellido de un amigo suyo) ni el trabajo que consiguió en una compañía telefónica, le duraron mucho, y sólo pudo publicar dos de las cinco novelas que había escrito entre 1879 y 1883. Una de ellas, La profesión de Cashel Byron (1882), anticipa la temática de la prostitución como profesión antisocial, que constituirá el argumento central de su obra teatral de 1893 Trata de blancas . La otra, Un socialista asocia Las quintaesencias La primera obra teatral de Shaw, Casa de viudas (1892), combinaba las influencias de Ibsen con una ácida burla de las convenciones del romanticismo, que aún estaban siendo explotadas en el teatro inglés. Esta obra se publicó en el volumen Teatro agradable y desagradable (1898), que reúne sus siete primeras obras para la escena, las otras eran Cándida Fascinación El hombre del destino Trata de blancas y Lucha de sexos , que, o no fueron representadas en su momento, o duraron muy poco en cartel, y una de ellas, Trata de blancas fue censurada por su supuesta obscenidad.
