Abstract
The Introduction presents a vivid portrait of GBS, or George Bernard Shaw. Shaw was at heart a consummate performer, and his meticulous curating of his ‘GBS’ persona across platforms of all kinds made him one of the world’s most recognizable public intellectuals and literary figures throughout much of his long life.
