Description

Bernard Shaw was a prolific author of book reviews, novels, plays, criticism, essays, and correspondence. Throughout his voluminous writings, proverbs occur repeatedly. This book is a comprehensive index to proverbs in Shaw's writings. An introductory chapter discusses the importance of proverbs in Shaw's works and analyzes his use of them. The bulk of the volume is a key-word index to the proverbs, along with a list of editions of Shaw's writings that were consulted.

-This study will serve as an invaluable source for a wide variety of analytical and interpretive studies involving the vast pool of Shavian proverbial expression. Providing easy access to over 2,000 proverbial texts in Shaw's work, this index will be of great assistance to any scholar interested in Shaw or any linguist, folklorist, satirist, or literary critic who wishes to delve into the rich and complex world of proverbial expression. —ARBA 95
