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. 410 0$aBernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,$x2634-582X 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aDrama 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aPlaywriting 606 $aDramatists 606 $aActors 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aDrama 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aPlaywrights and Playwriting 606 $aPerformers and Practitioners 606 $aFilm and TV History 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aDrama. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aPlaywriting. 615 0$aDramatists. 615 0$aActors. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aDrama. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aPlaywrights and Playwriting. 615 24$aPerformers and Practitioners. 615 24$aFilm and TV History. 676 $a822.912 676 $a301 700 $aDukore$b Bernard F.$f1931-$0193546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483257803321 996 $aBernard Shaw and the censors$92854992 997 $aUNINA
