Bernard Shaw The Bernard Shaw Companion, edited by Michael and Mollie Hardwick, is a useful introduction and guide (PR5367.H35 1973). So is The Cambridge Companion to George Bernard Shaw, edited by Christopher Innes (PR5367.C27 1998). The standard biography of Shaw is Michael Holroyd's four-volume Bernard Shaw (PR5366.H56 1988-) Two books on Shaw's politics and the ways in which it informs his plays are Gareth Griffith's Socialism and Superior Brains: The Political Thought of Bernard Shaw (PR5368.P6 G7 1993) and Tracy C. Davis's George Bernard Shaw and the Socialist Theatre (PR5368.S6 D38 1994). Anne Wright's Literature of Crisis, 1910-22 (PR471.W74 1984) has a chapter on Heartbreak House, as well as chapters on Women in Love and "The Waste Land". There is also a good deal on Shaw in the books listed under Irish literary modernism on the General Resources page of the current site. R. F. Dietrich's Shaw Bizness has many links to etexts and online research and resources, including information on various productions of his plays. The BBC has a small but useful set of resources on Shaw, including a brief biography, with some well-annotated links to other Shaw sites. Best of all, they have a number of audio files from the archives, in which you can hear Shaw in a 1937 talk to sixth-formers, telling them what he's learnt now he's 80, and more. Gregg Hillmar has two examples of his stage designs for Heartbreak House on his site. Binghampton University Theatre has some shots from their 1975 production. Iacovelli Design also have a number of shots of their work. Project Gutenberg has an etext version of Heartbreak House. The Marxists on the Internet Archive's George Bernard Shaw Archive has a small number of etexts available, mainly of Shaw's political writings. The Moonstruck Shaw pages include the 1909 essay "How to Write a Popular Play."
