Item description from seller

Reissue. Spine cloth and label toned. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1906 Hard Cover. 301 pp. A collection of three dramatic works by the Nobel Prize in Literature winning author of Pygmalion (adapted as the musical My Fair Lady). Shaw also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Pygmalion, for which he won an Academy Award. First published in 1901, this collection of plays features the following: The Devil's Disciple: A Victorian melodrama set during the American War of Independence that explores themes of sacrifice and fake piety through a "Puritan hero" who risks his life for a stranger. Caesar and Cleopatra: A historical play and "cheeky riposte" to Shakespeare that presents a witty, humanized portrait of Julius Caesar as he encounters a young Cleopatra. Captain Brassbound's Conversion: An adventure story set in Morocco where a lady explorer uses clever manipulation of the truth to ensure fairness over rigid justice.
