Dukore, author of Shaws TheaterEver since its 1905 premiere on the London stage,Bernard Shaws controversial drama Major Barbara has proved puzzling to audiences and critics alike. More than a century later there is still wide critical disagreement about the plays meaning and the ideas it engenders. Sidney Alberts groundbreaking new book provides a daring and novel reading of this work. By tracing the extensive connections between Shaws play andtwo canonical ancient Greek textsPlatos Republic and Euripidess BacchaeAlbert reveals deeper dimensions of the work.Albert demonstrates the influence these classics had on Shaws development as an artist and philosopher. He explores the Dionysian and Platonic elements in Major Barbara to illuminate how classical themes were modernized by Shaw. While examining the interrelations of the central characters in their social settings, Shaw, Plato, and Euripidessearches out the complex layers of meaning in one of Shaws most enigmatic dramas. Albert convincingly reveals Shaws interaction with Greek thought in a way that reconfirms ancient wisdom and yet goes beyond it, adapting it to the social, political, and humanistic perspectives of the modern world.
