George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) once quipped that it is "up to the author to take care of himself." This rich selection of Shaw's correspondence with his US and UK publishers proves how much the dramatist lived up to his own words by providing the details of his steady involvement in the publication of his works.
Covering nearly sixty years of a very productive career, Bernard Shaw and His Publishers is a first-hand account of Shaw's efforts to control all aspects of his works. The letters reveal Shaw's thoughts on issues ranging from pricing, advertising, copyright, and royalties, to typeface, margin size, paper choice, binding, and colour. Complete with full annotations by Michel W. Pharand, this volume sheds new light on Shaw and his working habits, as well as on the history of early-twentieth-century publishing, and will appeal to Shaw scholars and theatre researchers, as well as book and print-culture historians.

Bernard Shaw and His Publishers
Interesting. Would she be remembered if not for Yeats' obsession? Probably not, unless you were an historian interested in her role in the Irish Independence movement. For anyone interested in Yeats the book is probably compulsory reading. But her letters reveal a strong willed woman, committed to her beliefs, ready to act on them and so much more than the comic caricature, Maud Gone Mad. My only criticism of this edition, which not only has the editor's introduction but an essay by her granddaughter, and narrative paragraphs which put the letters into context, is that the index has a list of illustrations and the book has no illustrations.
