Bernard Shaw fashioned public images of himself that belied the nature and depth of his emotional experiences and the complexity of his intellectual outlook. In this absorbing biography, noted Shavian authority AM Gibbs debunks many of the elements that form the foundation of Shaw's self-created legend - from his childhood (which was not the loveless experience he claimed publicly), to his sexual relationships with several women, to his marriage, his politics, his Irish identity, and his controversial philosophy of Creative Evolution. "This newest of Shavian lives ... is the most authoritative yet and is likely to remain so for a long time to come." Stanley Weintraub
