1.2. Works by Bernard Shaw
The Irish-born dramatist, critic, and writer, who lived in the UK from 1876 until his death in 1950, had a remarkably long career spanning almost 75. Although he was often referred to as GBS, he increasingly wrote under the name Bernard Shaw. He played a central role in the Fabian Society since its inception in 1884, editing Fabian Essays and developing intellectual relationships with G K Chesterton and H G Wells. His Utopian socialism, which underpinned his non-fiction and fiction, was most fully articulated in The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism [18, 34] In Everybody's Political What's What (1944), written during World War II, Shaw expressed his contempt for any valuation of human selfhood based on the Homo economicus model (see Economics).
Some of Shaw's early plays are noteworthy for their fantastic elements. Arms and the Man [24, 5, 7] is set in a fictional country. Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy discusses the concept of the Superman (though not presented on stage) and "Creative Evolution," which is depicted as both imminent and self-projecting toward perfection, shaped on the ground through Eugenics. John Bull's Other Island offers a scathing vision of a free Ireland, which Shaw advocated despite his forebodings. The Doctor's Dilemma revolves around a genuine cure for tuberculosis through the invention of a powerful phagocyte . Press Cuttings, a play about women's rights set in the near future, is close to science fiction. Androcles and the Lion contains elements of fantasy, though in all cases.
Shaw's initial authentic science fiction play is Back to Methuselah: A Metabiological Pentateuch, a five-part representation of the Evolution of humanity – it was his final presentation of Creative Evolution – from the time of Genesis into the Distant Future, during which individuals have become long-lived and, by the year 31,920 CE, are on the brink of experiencing corporeal Transcendence into disembodied thought-entities; incidental science fiction devices include cellphone equivalents, a type of Force Field and the revelation that by 3000 CE nothing whatsoever remains of London. The play's reputation has suffered not only from the variable quality of its successive sequences but also from an implied conflation of Eugenics and the reticently argued but unmistakably anti-Darwinian Lamarckian principles that underlie his vision of humanity's rapid progress upwards.
Although the play is otherwise non-fantastical, in the epilogue to Saint Joan [16, 23] a spokesperson from 1920 manifests to announce Joan's canonization. From this point, Shaw's plays increasingly utilized science fiction or fantasy modes to make a series of remarkably bleak though sometimes scattershot utterances about Homo sapiens and about the chances of the species ever doing well. The ideologically motivated charge that their dissolution of realist conventions demonstrated the senility of their author was only countered by the more balanced Bernard Shaw by Eric Bentley, which focused on their planetary gaze.
The Apple Cart: A Political Extravaganza [17, 48] set in the UK near the end of the century after a Channel Tunnel has been built, ironically posits monarchism as a solution to the power of great corporations. Several later plays more scathingly and far-rangingly explore similar material. Too True to Be Good: A Political Extravaganza , a dream fantasy about the Near Future, and On the Rocks: A Political, in which democracy fails in Near Future England and a Dystopian government takes over, were both assembled in Too True to be Good, Village Wooing & On the Rocks.
A play called A Comedy of No Etiquette portrays some ultimate idealistic ideas as a work of imagination, and the six sketches in Farfetched Fables gradually lead to a distant future distinct from the one envisioned at the end of Back to Methuselah, where Homo sapiens are no longer tormented by the complexities of Sex, but also useless; these last explanations were put together as Buoyant Billions, Farfetched Fables, and Shakes versus Shav.
None of Shaw's novels from the nineteenth century are of interest in genre, but The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God (1932 chap) is a Satire fantasy about evolving views of Religion, and some of the pieces put together in Short Stories: Scraps and Shavings are science fiction, including "Aerial Football: The New Game". Both books were compiled with revisions as Short Stories, Scraps and Shavings. Shaw developed a plan early on for his dramatic works, where his plays are accompanied by extensive prefaces in which various theses, some of broad interest in science fiction, are elegantly explained; he did not develop a similar plan for his fiction, which he saw (correctly) as peripheral. Bernard Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925.
