About this book

The account describes Shaw slowly perfecting himself in public speaking as the fascination of the platform grew upon him daily. The account describes frequent speaking and attendance at public meetings of every sort, with platform skills learned through precept, experience and example. The account describes a gradual widening and deepening of knowledge about subjects periodically discussed in the debating societies that had been joined.

The discussion of John Bull's Other Island records Shaw’s statement that his plays, beginning with John Bull, were more firmly set upon the earth. The treatment of the play identifies Keegan as an unfrocked parish priest in whose mouth Shaw places his own criticisms of the situation. An exchange with Mr. Maude records Shaw refusing to permit cuts after the actor-manager raised misgivings about certain lines in a manuscript.
