It is the first single-authored volume exclusively focused on the subject of Shaw and Irishness. It will be joined by others in time, but it is unlikely to be bettered. -- \u003cb\u003eAnthony Roche\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor, University College Dublin, Ireland\u003cbr\u003e\"David Clare's radical analysis, delivered in subtle prose, constitutes a challenge to Shavians and to Hibernophiles to rethink some of their most basic assumptions.

David Clare's fascinating and important study gives us new ways to think about such works but also sheds new light on many of Shaw's most famous dramas, including Pygmalion and Saint Joan. As readable as it is insightful, this book will be of wide interest to scholars of Shaw, Irish literature, and theatre studies.\" --\u003cb\u003e Patrick Lonergan\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor, National University of Ireland, Galway \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing close readings of Shaw's plays and letters, as well as archival research, David Clare illustrates that Shaw regularly placed Irish, Irish Diasporic, and surrogate Irish characters into his plays in order to comment on Anglo-Irish relations and to explore the nature of Irishness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Clare\u003c\/b\u003e is an Irish Research Council-funded postdoctoral research fellow at the Moore Institute at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
