Excerpt from Mrs. Warren's Daughter: A Story of the Woman's Movement I have his permission to continue the story from 1898 onwards. To understand my sequel it is not necessary to have read the play which so brilliantly placed the Warren problem before us. But as most persons of average good education have found Mr. Shaw's com edies necessary to their mental furnishing, their under standing of contemporary life, it is probable that all who would be drawn to this book are already acquainted with the story of Mrs. Warren, and will be interested in learn ing what happened after that story was laid down by Mr. Shaw in 1897. I would in addition placate hostile or peevish reviewers by reminding them of the continuity of human histories; of biographies, real - though a little disguised by the sauce of fiction and unreal because entitled Life and Letters, by H is Widow. The best novel or life-story ever written does not commence with its opening page. The real commencement goes back to the Stone ages or at any rate to the antecedent circumstances which led up to the crisis or the formation of the char acters portrayed. Mr. Pickwick had a father, a grand father; a mother in a mob - cap; in the eighteenth century. It is permissible to speculate on their stories and disposi tions. Neither does a novel or a biography end with the final page of its convenient instalment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
