Biographical Sketch
Born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 26, 1856, George Bernard Shaw was the only son and
third and youngest child of George Carr and Lucinda Elizabeth Gurly Shaw. Though
descended from landed Irish gentry, Shaw's father was unable to sustain any more than a
facade of gentility. Shaw's official education consisted of being tutored by an uncle
and briefly attending Protestant and Catholic day schools. At fifteen Shaw began working
as a bookkeeper in a land agent's office which required him to go out among the poor to
collect rent, thus giving him an early familiarity with economic injustice. Outside of
work, books, theater, and art captured his attention, but it was music that pervaded his
home. His mother took singing lessons from a well known Dublin music teacher who
eventually moved into the Shaw household. When her teacher moved to London Shaw's mother
and two sisters followed. Shaw joined them the following year at the age of twenty
hoping to make a living by writing.
His first years in London, 1876-1884, were filled with frustration and poverty.
Depending on his mother's income as a music teacher and a pound a week sent by his
father from Dublin, Shaw spent his days in the British Museum reading room writing
novels and reading, and his evenings attending lectures and debates by the middle class
intelligentsia. He became a vegetarian, a socialist, a skillful orator, and developed
his first beginnings as a playwright. A driving force behind the Fabian Society, he
threw himself into committee work, wrote socialist pamphlets, and spoke to crowds
several times a week. Shaw began his journalism career as a book reviewer and art,
music, and drama critic, always downgrading the artificialities and hypocrisies he found
in those arts.
Shaw remained a boarder in his mother's home until 1889, leaving only when, at the age
of 42, he married Irish heiress and fellow Fabian Charlotte Payne-Townshend; the
marriage lasting until her death in 1943. Though Shaw experimented with drama from his
early twenties he did not see a play of his produced on stage until 1892 with
Widowers' Houses, a dramatized socialist tract on
slumlordism. Shaw's writings were often controversial as in The
Philanderer (1898), a play about the new
woman, and Mrs. Warren's Profession (1898),
depicting organized commercial prostitution. His plays were often comical as well and it
was not unusual to have serious themes in juxtaposition with a comedic plot. In almost
everything he wrote Shaw saw his mission as that of a reformer and felt people should be
able to hear important ideas discussed in the theater.
Shaw prefaced his plays with introductory essays dealing not only with the plays
themselves but with the themes suggested by the plays; these essays became well known on
their own. A Shaw innovation was to write stage directions and descriptions in narrative
style in the texts rather than in the usual directorial form. Before a cast was selected
for his plays, he would invite potential actors to come for readings and would read the
play in its entirety to them acting out the parts exactly as he meant them to be
performed. He also attended rehearsals where he gave helpful advice to actors having
difficulty with a role.
In addition to his plays, which he continued to write into his nineties, Shaw wrote
numerous essays on literary, economic, political, and social topics as well as essays,
introductions, and reviews of novelists and poets, and was a prolific letter writer. He
continued to be controversial when he spoke out on various issues as he was inclined to
tell the truth as he saw it and could be ruthlessly honest. Shaw received the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1925 after the success of his play
Saint
Joan, and the Academy Award for Best Screenplay for Pygmalion in 1938, later made into the musical My
Fair Lady (1956). George Bernard Shaw died on November 2, 1950.
Scope and Contents
Holograph and typescripts of working and finished versions of plays and essays,
correspondence, financial records, and legal agreements are all represented in the
George Bernard Shaw collection, 1770-1963 (bulk 1875-1950). Diaries, scrapbooks,

The Works Series contains material by Shaw in a variety of formats, including holograph
drafts, typescripts, galley and page proofs, filmscripts, pamphlets, articles, poems,
lectures, prefaces, and reviews. The Center holds a large number of Shaw's plays in
versions varying from drafts and fragments to rehearsal and directors' prompt copies.
Three novels are also represented in the collection.

associated with Shaw. Many of the letters to Shaw are from admirers, fundraising
agencies, publishers, theaters, and friends.
The Personal Papers Series contains a series of agreements with publishers and
producers, notes for and translations of a number of plays, as well as diaries,
scrapbooks, and incidental notes and lists created by Shaw or with his collaboration.

lists created by Shaw's wife and a small number of letters written by her, as well as a
great deal of business correspondence sent to her by various contractors and publishers
as well as a few personal letters from friends and acquaintances. Also included here are
household financial records and legal documents including a draft of Charlotte's Will
and two passports.
The Third-Party Works, Legal Documents, and Financial Records Series is made up of
notes, drafts, and proofs of essays, interviews, biographies, and plays written about
Shaw or sent to him with requests for reviews or comments. Many items have short notes
written by Shaw on the manuscripts.

personal diaries may be of particular interest to scholars. In addition, there are
hundreds of articles, notes, prefaces to works of other authors, reviews, prepared
lectures, and fragmentary comments, varying in length from a scrap of paper to
several pages.
Series II. Correspondence, 1780-1963
Over 4,000 business and personal letters are found in the Correspondence Series
which is divided into three subseries: A. Outgoing Correspondence, 1875-1950 (15.5
boxes); B. Incoming Correspondence, 1875-1950 (8 boxes); and C. Third-party
Correspondence, 1780-1963 (1.5 boxes). Individual authors and recipients can be
identified in the Index of Correspondents at the end of this finding aid.
Outgoing Correspondence contains a great deal of personal correspondence from Shaw
to friends and acquaintances spanning the better part of Shaw's life. Of
particular note are letters written to fellow writers Charles Charrington, Harley
Granville-Barker, Archibald Henderson, William Maxwell, Grant Richards, Siegfried
Trebitsch, John Vedrenne, and Frederick Whelen, as well as to translator Janet
Achurch, actress Lena Ashwell, his secretary Blanche Patch, and others. He also
carried on extensive correspondence with his printer, R. & R. Clark.
Incoming Correspondence contains significantly less personal material, being made
up of a great many requests for autographs, speaking engagements, money,
clarification of his political or social position, arguments with those positions,
and similar items. Other correspondents ask for permission to perform Shaw's plays
or report on the financial state of approved performances. Almost all of these
letters to Shaw have a written or typed response from Shaw which was later
transcribed and sent by Shaw's personal secretary. A number of letters to Shaw are
in German and French and this is indicated in the Index of Correspondents.
Personal letters to Shaw in this section include letters from Frank Harris, Roy
Limbert, Margaret Mackworth, Lucy Shaw, Sidney Webb, and others.
The Third-Party Correspondence subseries is made up of some personal but primarily
business letters written between people associated with Shaw including Arthur
Fifield, Archibald Henderson, Blanche Patch, R. & R. Clark, Lucy Shaw, and
others. This subseries also includes letters between Townshend family members from
as early as 1780.
Series III. Personal Papers, 1876-1950
The Personal Papers Series is made up of documents which Shaw had some part in
creating but which are not considered works.These include legal agreements, translations of Shaw's works which

variety of organizations. Additionally, day books, notebooks, and three scrapbooks
for the Serenade Club are present, as are receipts forroyalty payments, canceled
checks and records and correspondence regarding the leasing of Shaw's apartments
between 1940 and 1949. Copies of Shaw's last will and testament and general
licensing and publishing agreements between 1907 and 1950 are included as well as
fragments and lists pertaining to a wide variety of topics.
Series IV. Charlotte Shaw Personal Papers and Household
Records, 1883-1943

the Index of Works by other Authors.
The Correspondence subseries is divided into two sections: Outgoing, 1899-1943,
and Incoming, 1883-1943. Outgoing includes a small amount of personal
correspondence with T.E. Lawrence, Margaret Mackworth, and Dorothy Walker, as well
as others. Incoming Correspondence is made up of a great deal of business
correspondence with utility companies, contractors, and publishers regarding
bills, payments, and statements. There are also a few personal letters from
friends and fellow Fabians. Personal letters to Charlotte have been included in
the Index of Correspondents at the end of this finding aid.
The Financial Records Subseries contains canceled checks, receipts for payment and
meticulous household expense books for 1885-1939, including wages paid to servants
