Autorenporträt
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), known at his insistence simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist, and political activist who wrote more than sixty plays. He is best known for his wit, satirical prowess, and his promotion of the importance of ideas in art. His writing was marked by a strong intellect and a penchant for social criticism, which is reflected in his many works such as 'Pygmalion,' 'Man and Superman,' and 'Major Barbara.' His contribution to literature was so significant that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925. In 'Pen Portraits and Reviews,' Shaw exhibits an exceptional capacity for critiquing literature, theatre, and the personalities of his time with piercing insight and an unfailing flair. Shaw's literary style combined elements of comedy and drama, often adopting a satirical tone to explore contemporary issues of society and morality. He boldly tackled social issues through his articulate characters and engaging dialogues, earning him a reputation as a preeminent social commentator. Shaw was also a member of the Fabian Society, through which he expressed his socialist beliefs. His works continue to be read and staged worldwide, demonstrating his timeless relevance and his status as one of the most important figures in the history of English literature.
