"Mr. Howe's work is severely critical; no words are wasted on biographical details. Mr. Shaw's novels and plays are considered in chapters on Economics, Aesthetics, and Dramatics and there is a final chapter. The secret in the poet's heart. The author's final estimate of Shaw is that while he has "edified and delighted his age," he has not "profoundly affected it.
Fourteen books have already been written on the subject of Mr. Shaw, and few are more than five years old.

It Is a study of ideas, not a hotchpotch of gossip and rhapsody. On the whole it is just and unbiased, amusingly written, and not lacking in profundity."
