Bernard Shaw Collected Letters 1926-1950 (Vol. 4)

Collected Letters 1926-1950 completes the monumental four-volume edition of Bernard Shaw's correspondence. It covers the final quarter-century of the dramatist's life, a period in which Shaw has reached the pinnacle of success: a world-renowned Nobel Prize laureate, he is received with adulation by enthusiastic crowds as he circumnavigates the globe, his every utterance considered newsworthy, but at the cost of being dogged by the press, his privacy trespassed upon at home and abroad, and bedevilled by unending supplications from a world hellbent on clinging to his coattails.
