About this book
Critics who tied Bernard Shaw to Ibsen, Nietzsche, Strindberg or Tolstoy get a reply in this preface to his play Major Barbara. Shaw points instead to the Irish novelist Charles Lever, whose A Day's Ride he read in part as a child, and to its hero, who tries to live on romantic imagination alone. A note at the start credits Gilbert Murray, not Euripides directly, for the verses in the play's second act. The play itself dates from 1905.
