Bernard Shaw and Totalitarianism: Longing for Utopia

Autor M. Yde
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 oct 2013
This book reveals the genuity of Shaw's totalitarianism by looking at his material - articles, speeches, letters, etc but is especially concerned with analyzing the utopian desire that runs through so many of Shaw's plays; looking at his political and eugenic utopianism as expressed in his drama and comparing this to his political totalitarianism.
