Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" Inscribed By Author (USA) 1st printing. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR: " With best wishes/ Tony Gibbs/ July 2006", no other makrings, Fine in Near Fine dust jacket with 18" tear to top edge of front panel. Boards, 554pp, index, B&W photos and illus. From the dust jacket: Bernard Shaw fashioned public images of himself that belied the nature and depth of his emotional experiences and the complexity of his intellectual outlook. In this absorbing biography, noted Shavian authority A. M. Gibbs debunks many of the elements that form the foundation of Shaw's self-created legend--from his childhood (which was not the loveless experience he claimed publicly), to his sexual relationships with several women, to his marriage, his politics, his Irish identity, and his controversial philosophy of Creative Evolution. Drawing on previously unpublished materials, including never-before-seen photographs and early sketches by Shaw, Gibbs offers a fresh perspective and brings us closer than ever before to the human being behind the masks. A heavy book. (2.9 JM HOJ 302/0.
