TIME:  6:00 to 7:15 p.m. (beverages and light snacks offered)
LOCATION: Weinberg Memorial Library Room 305

COURSE DESCRIPTION: George Bernard Shaw is the only person who ever won both an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. He was a widely quoted, often controversial public figure from the “horse and buggy” days of the nineteenth century right up to the atomic age. This course will examine Shaw’s impact on the cultural and political development of the 20th Century and the way in which his plays, such as Arms and the Man, Man and Superman, Pygmalion and Saint Joan, both reacted to the mores of their times and anticipated the course of events.

John McInerney, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus in English Literature, The University of Scranton, and member and former officer in The International Shaw Society
