Exclusive to Penguin Classics: the definitive text of Shaws volume of unpleasant plays, Widowers Houses, The Philanderer, and Mrs. Warrens Professionpart of the official Bernard Shaw LibraryA Penguin ClassicWith Plays Unpleasant, Shaw issued a radical challenge to his audiences complacency and exposed social evils through his dramatization of the moral conflicts between youthful idealism and economic reality, promiscuity and marriage, and the duties of women to others and to themselves. His first play, Widowers Houses, depicts Harry Trenchs dilemma on learning that the inheritance of his fiance comes from her fathers income as a slum landlord. In The Philanderer, charismatic Leonard Charteris proposes marriage to Grace, while he is still involved with the beautiful Julia Cravenwho is not inclined to give him up so easily. And in Mrs. Warren's Profession, Vivie Warren is forced to reconsider her own future when she discovers that her mother's immoral earnings funded her genteel upbringing.This is the definitive text under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. This volume includes Shaws prefaces, cast lists from the first productions of the plays, and a list of his principal works.
