Why I Chose This Book

This book is currently not in the Hodges collection. It makes available and accessible the correspondence of the playwright Bernard Shaw and the critic and translator William Archer, who is also responsible for introducing Ibsen to the English-speaking world. Although it is out of my own area of historical specialization, I expect that this book will be useful to colleagues and students researching Shaw and the development of modern drama. On a more personal level, the editor of this collection is the late Thomas Postlewait. Tom was a beloved mentor to many, including me. He taught me how to scrutinize existing narratives, identify overlooked sources, and to consider revision as writing. Above all, his kindness, generosity, and support made me want to pursue an academic life.
