Description

Mass market paperback. 192pp., This reprint edition first published 1954. Contains the 1911 88 page introduction by Shaw, with poscripts dated 1930 and 1933. A tragedy written in response to the current state of health care in Great Britain circa 1911. A sardonic and pointed diatribe against the unregulated private practice of medicine and its odiuos consequences for public health. Though largely overhadowed by more famous prose and theatric works penned by Shaw, the play has some resonance in light of contemporary debate surronding “national health policy’. No previous ownership marks. A clean, square, sound copy. Very good+.
