A one-volume abridgement of Holroyd's acclaimed two-volume study of George Bernard Shaw chronicles the private life and work of a towering literary figure, from 1856 to 1950. 15,000 first printing.
About the Author: Michael Holroyd was born in 1935 and is part Irish and half Swedish. He is the author of acclaimed biographies of Hugh Kingsmill, Lytton Strachey, and Augustus John.
