| Resumen: |
Este libro combina las ideas de trece eruditos shavianos que examinan los temas del matrimonio, las relaciones y las asociaciones a lo largo de todas las obras principales de Bernard Shaw. También conecta las propias experiencias de amor y matrimonio de Shaw con los temas que emergen en sus obras, mostrando cómo sus relaciones personales dentro y fuera de los vÃnculos matrimoniales cambian la forma en que sus personajes entran y salen de matrimonios y desalianzas. Si bien proporciona una gran cantidad de análisis nuevos, esta colección de ensayos también deja preguntas persistentes para que el lector inicie un diálogo continuo tanto en entornos individuales como académicos. . |

| Summary : |
This book combines the insights of thirteen Shavian scholars as they examine the themes of marriage, relationships and partnerships throughout all of Bernard Shaw's major works. It also connects Shaw's own experiences of love and marriage to the themes that emerge in his works, showing how his personal relationships in and out of matrimonial bonds change the ways his characters enter and exit marriages and misalliances. While providing a wealth of new analysis, this collection of essays also leaves lingering questions for the reader to spark continuing dialogue in both individual and academic settings. . |
