- W164736638 abstract "Bernard Shaw's statements on the purpose of literary art, the role and character of the author, the nature of the audience, and the artis tic requirements of works of fiction and drama in themselves have raised many questions. If Shaw believed that style requires original ideas and that second-hand ideas cannot produce great literature, why did he praise Sheakespeare? If Shaw believed that art for art's sake was an invalid concept, why did he praise Oscar Wilde? If Shaw believed that art requires a moral purpose, why did he praise Edgar Allan Poe as an artist? The answers are in Shaw's prefaces, letters, lectures, and critical essays, but in order to interpret them accurately, one must consider the perspective of his statements. Shaw's expository strategy is the deliberately rhetorical method of the platform speaker. Like most debaters, Shaw spends little time on points which are easily won and devotes his energy to points which are hard to carry. Someone reviewing Shaw's criticism might as sume that the most important points are those mentioned most often when actually the reiterated points are those which encounter the most resistance. Shaw used the technique of reiteration, known to every effective debater, to make the weak points as vital as the strong ones, but this has caused many to assume that the points Shaw pressed are the ones most important to him. Since Shaw was a skilled rhetorician and wit engaged in promot ing his own worth as well as his theories, his statements cannot be taken literally but must be evaluated in terms of the resistance he had to overcome. The epilogue to Pygmalion is a case in point. The epilogue does not offer a logical history of Eliza Doolittle and Freddy Eynsford Hill as much as it warns careless readers against regarding the play as a story about a romantic love affair between Eliza and Henry Higgins. The use of overstatement is effective? although a reader does not take the epilogue literally, he can no longer distort the relationship between Eliza and Higgins. State ments in Shaw's prefaces are often overstatements of the same na ture, leading to confusion as to what he really meant. The most misunderstood aspect of Shaw's theory of art concerns" @default.
