George Bernard Shaw, 1856 to 1950
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
.... G.B. Shaw
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short story
writer.
Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems with
a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable. Issues
which engaged Shaw's attention included education, marriage, religion,
government, health care, and class privilege.
