William Morris Influenced Socialism and Fabianism in the UK Colin Wilson George Bernard Shaw 26 July 2 November ) was a world-famous playwright. Born in Dublin , he moved to London at age twenty and lived in England for the remainder of his life. Shaw's first success was as a music and literary critic , but he was drawn to drama and authored more than sixty plays during his career. Typically his work is leavened by a delightful vein of comedy, but nearly all of it has serious undertones. His plays and prefaces pinpoint institutionalized defects in many aspects of Western culture and suggest reforms. Education, marriage, religion, government, health care, class privilege…All of these were targets, but his prime aim was to free the working class from the abusive exploitation that pervaded the Victorian era. Humor was Shaw's way of making his attacks on the establishment less distressing to his audiences. Politically an ardent socialist , Shaw wrote many brochures and speeches for the Fabian Society and became an accomplished orator in furtherance of its causes. Those included gaining

Prize in Economics George Bernard Shaw The Nobel Prize in Literature 1925 Biography 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

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) 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." In 1866 the family moved to a better neighborhood. Shaw went to the Wesleyan Connexional School, then moved to a private school near Dalkey, and from there to Dublin's Central Model School. Shaw finished his formal education at the Dublin English Scientific and Commercial Day School. At the age of 15, he started to work as a junior clerk. In 1876 he went to London, joining his sister and mother. Shaw did not return to Ireland for nearly thirty years.

George Bernard Shaw Quotes George Bernard Shaw on statistics Vaccination, medicine: "Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away." George Bernard Shaw "At present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated, nor does the law now compel them to. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied, the extermination of the human race by smallpox; on the contrary more people are now killed by vaccination than by smallpox."George Bernard Shaw August 9, 1944, the Irish Times "As a horrible reversion to the most degraded and abominable forms of tribal ritual, . . . which ought to have been made a criminal offence after the great epidemic of 1871."-George Bernard Shaw (Preface to The Doctor's Dilemma, 1906.) " "As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination." -George Bernard Shaw "You let a doctor take a dainty, helpless baby, and put that stuff from a cow, which has been scratched and had dirt rubbed into her wound, into that child. Even, the Jennerians now admit that infant vaccination spreads disease among children. More mites die from vaccination than from the disease they are supposed to be inoculated against."George Bernard Shaw. Referee for October 18, 1929

9. Mozart And Shaw George Bernard Shaw was born exactly a hundred years later than Mozart in 1856. .. SHAW, George, Bernard. Man and Superman A Comedy and a Philosophy, http://www.ul.ie/~philos/vol2/shaw.html

SHAW AND THE DON: GEORGE BERNARD SHAW'S RECEPTION OF MOZART'S DON GIOVANNI Gareth Cox Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart This is the text of a talk given to the Limerick Philosophical Society in 1993. It was illustrated with many musical examples from Don Giovanni [these are indicated in the text with their relevant bar numbers]. It deals generally with Shaw’s lifelong fascination with the music of Mozart and in particular with the influence on his work of one of Mozart’s greatest operas, Don Giovanni . Scholars, both philologists and dramaturgists alike, have long recognized the importance of structural aspects of Mozart’s music on Shaw’s dramas. Shaw himself felt that a certain knowledge of Mozart was a necessary prerequisite for an understanding of his works and in a letter to the American actress Molly Tompkins he wrote, "I don't know whether you are a musician, but if not, then you don't know Mozart, and if you don't know Mozart, you will never understand my technique". [Tompkins, 11] The two major cultural figures of Mozart and Shaw appear at first glance to be an unlikely pairing: One an eighteenth-century composer of music mainly for the aristocracy; the other a twentieth-century socialist. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born in 1756, represents the apogee of the Viennese Classical style and composed works in practically all musical genres including such unforgettable operas as The Marriage of Figaro The Magic Flute , and of course, Don Giovanni . George Bernard Shaw was born exactly a hundred years later than Mozart in 1856. He enjoyed an enormous reputation as a prolific dramatist through such plays as

"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."

George Bernard Shaw Bernard Shaw, born in Dublin in 1856, was essentially shy, yet created the persona of G.B.S., the showman, controversialist, satirist, critic, pundit, wit, intellectual buffoon and dramatist. Commentators brought a new adjective into the English language: Shavian, a term used to embody all his brilliant qualities. After his arrival in London in 1876 he became an active Socialist and a brilliant platform speaker. He wrote on many social aspects of the day: on Commonsense about the War How to Settle the Irish Question (1917), and The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism (1928). He undertook his own education at the British Museum and consequently became keenly interested in cultural subjects. Thus his prolific output included music, art and theatre reviews which were collected into several volumes: Music In London 1890-1894 (3 vols., 1931); Pen Portraits and Reviews (1931); and
