  The second in a three-volume biography of Bernard Shaw which looks at the man in his prime. In this period, Shaw begins the terrible adventure of marriage; and with Granville Barker he revolutionizes the British stage, becoming a great idol of the young. Believing that an author's business is to mind everyone's business, Shaw takes an active role in influencing socialism. The resulting great middle plays are concerned with everything from disarmament to medical ethics.
