I learned a tremendous amount, as will most readers, and Bernard Shaw and the Censors will doubtless be the last word on the topic." - Michel Pharand, former editor of SHAW: The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies and author of Bernard Shaw and the French (2001). "This book shows us a new side of Shaw and his complicated relationships to the powerful mechanisms of stage and screen censorship in the long twentieth century." - - Lauren Arrington, Professor of English, Maynooth University, Ireland A fresh view of Shaw versus stage and screen censors, this book describes Shaw as fighter and failure, whose battles against censorship - of his plays and those of others, of his works for the screen and those of others - he sometimes won but usually lost. We forget usually, because ultimately he prevailed and because his witty reports of defeats are so buoyant, they seem to describe triumphs. We think of him as a celebrity, not an outsider; as a classic, not one of the avant-garde, of which Victorians and Edwardians were intolerant; as ahead of his time, not of it, when he was called "disgusting," "immoral", and "degenerate." Yet it took over three decades and a world war before British censors permitted a public performance of Mrs Warren's Profession. We remember him as an Academy Award winner for Pygmalion, not as an author whose dialogue censors required deletions for showings in the United States. Scrutinizing the powerful stage and cinema censorship in Britain and America, this book focuses on one of its most notable campaigners against them in the last century.Bernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,2634-582XTheaterHistoryDramaLiterature, Modern19th centuryPlaywritingDramatistsActorsMotion picturesHistoryTheatre HistoryDramaNineteenth-Century LiteraturePlaywrights and PlaywritingPerformers and PractitionersFilm and TV HistoryTheaterHistory.Drama.Literature, ModernPlaywriting.Dramatists.Actors.Motion picturesHistory.Theatre History.Drama.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Playwrights and Playwriting.Performers and Practitioners.Film and TV History.822.912301Dukore Bernard F.1931-193546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483257803321Bernard Shaw and the censors2854992UNINA
