BERNARD SHAW VOLUME 1, 1865 – 1898

Michael Holdroyd, Penguin paperback illustrated issue 1990.

This book touches the furthest boundaries of biography as an historical memoir as the years 1856 – 1898 in its unfolding of the details of Shaw’s life: his Anglo-Irish middle-class poverty, his lively and eccentric relations,, the mesmeric Vandeleur Lee….the passionate complexities leading up to his marriage blanc – John Osborne in the spectator Apart from a very slight light tinting to the page edges, the illustrated book is in good condition and tightly bound.
