From the time that George Bernard Shaw remarked that “Rebecca West could handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely,” West’s writings and her politics have elicited strong reactions. This collection of her letters—the first ever published—has been culled from the estimated ten thousand she wrote during her long life. The more than two hundred selected letters follow this spirited author, critic, and journalist from her first feminist campaign for women’s suffrage when she was a teenager through her reassessments of the twentieth century written in 1982, in her ninetieth year. The letters, which are presented in full, include correspondence with West’s famous lover H. G. Wells and with Shaw, Virginia Woolf, Emma Goldman, Noel Coward, and many others; offer pronouncements on such contemporary authors as Norman Mailer, Nadine Gordimer, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.; and provide new insights into her battles against misogyny, fascism, and communism. West deliberately fashions her own biography through this intensely personal correspondence, challenging rival accounts of her groundbreaking professional career, her frustrating love life, and her tormented family relations. Engrossing to read, the collection sheds new light on this important figure and her social and literary milieu.

The second volume in the series of Shaw's correspondence contains 152 letters between him and fellow Victorian British writer and Fabian Club member Wells, exchanged between 1901 and 1946. Most of them are by Shaw and most previously unpublished. They encourage, advise, bully, and sometimes insult each other over literature, drama, sex, education, Russia, wives, and a wide range of other topics. An afterword provides their published views of each other. Notes clarify names and events mentioned, and sometimes contextualize the letters. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The selected correspondence of Bernard Shaw relating to the play How He Lied to Her Husband contains 32 letters and entries, written between 1898 and 1949. The book represents a significant addition to contemporary understanding of Shaw's play How He Lied to Her Husband. It reveals his thoughts on a wide variety of issues and relationships with contemporaries. The play How He Lied to Her Husband was first published in a translation by Siegfried Trebitsch on 28 November 1904 in the Berliner Tageblatt. First English edition was published on 19 June 1907 by Constable and Company Ltd, London. This publication from "John Bull's Other Island and Major Barbara: also How He Lied to Her Husband, Constable and Company Ltd, London, 1920" is a handmade reproduction from the original edition, and remains as true to the original work as possible. The original edition was processed manually by means of a classic editing which ensures the quality of publications and the unrestricted enjoyment of reading. Here are some book quotes from Bernard Shaw: " The German papers seem to have settled into a habit of reporting everything I do as a failure." "All I can say is that the film How He Lied to her Husband directed by Cecil Lewis is the opening item in the program of the Carlton, which is a first rate London cinema. Although the principal film, to which mine is only a lever de rideau attracts the wrong sort of audience for my work, the people laugh at it as much as cinema audiences ever laugh (or perhaps a bit more) and it is kept in the bill. It has just been produced in America. Consequently the illiterate reporters who have never heard any language but Hollywood American, nor any colloquialisms, and who were mentally incapable of sustained attention, complained bitterly and just hated it. The qualified literate critics were all quite civil..." The book also includes an editor's note to German readers.
