This collection comprises the second of a three-part edition which brings together all of Shaw's 115 prefaces, several of which are previously unpublished. The range of subjects - poverty, imperialism and power, "Crosstianity", vivisection, responsibilities of the medical profession and marital relations - remain topical, and reveal Shaw's concern about human possibilities and the greed, insularity and blindness that obstruct these possibilities.
