- W2493778504 abstract "After the success he had with his great philosophical trilogy, Shaw continued to explore and expand the possibilities of the discussion drama, most especially in Getting Married (1908), which has hardly any pretension toward plot at all, consisting merely of various personages engaged in a serious disquisition on the institution of marriage. Between Major Barbara in 1905 and the advent of the First World War in 1914, Shaw wrote a number of other important plays as well, including The Doctor’s Dilemma (1906), The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet (1909), Misalliance (1910), Fanny’s First Play (1911), Androcles and the Lion (1912), and Pygmalion (1913); but while Blanco Posnet and Androcles deal with the manifestation of the Life Force, they, like the others, eschew the momentous political and philosophical questions that preoccupy Shaw in the plays of his trilogy. During the war Shaw wrote what some believe to be his greatest play, Heartbreak House (1919), a tragicomic look at the ruling class that led England into a disastrous war, but it was not until after the war in his massive five-play cycle Back to Methuselah that Shaw returned to the serious philosophical play. Written during the years 1918–20, Back to Methuselah is Shaw’s most ambitious play, what he described in the preface as “a contribution to the modern Bible” (vol. 2, xix), and what he himself considered his most important work." @default.
