This witty masterpiece combines high comedy with social commentary as it deflates romantic misconceptions of love and warfare. First produced on the London stage in 1894, Arms and the Man is one of the most frequently acted and studied of Shaw's plays.When Arms and The Man premiered, Shaw was already a celebrity art critic and socialist lecturer. It was so successful that it immediately established him as one of the greatest wits of London's theatre scene. Shaw subtitled the play "An Anti-Romantic Comedy".Each title in the Bernard Shaw/AC Ward series has a general critical introduction to the works of Shaw, a specific introduction to the play itself, the author’s own preface, and also notes and glossaries. The series has now been enhanced and enriched with additional student-friendly features such as analyses of themes and characterisation, act-wise summaries and questions, and a select reading list. We hope that these value additions will help maintain the popularity that the series has long enjoyed with teachers and students alike.
