It also connects Shaw?s own experiences of love and marriage to the themes that emerge in his works, showing how his personal relationships in and out of matrimonial bonds change the ways his characters enter and exit marriages and misalliances. While providing a wealth of new analysis, this collection of essays also leaves lingering questions for the reader to spark continuing dialogue in both individual and academic settings.  . 410 0$aBernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,$x2634-5811 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aTheater?Production and direction 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aTheatre Direction and Production$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415050 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aTheater?Production and direction. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTheatre Direction and Production. 676 $a792.09 702 $aGaines$b Robert A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255084503321 996 $aBernard Shaw's Marriages and Misalliances$92026637 997 $aUNINA
