A significant presentation copy inscribed in black fountain pen on the half-title: "To Robert Loraine / from G. Bernard Shaw. / 16th June 1921". Loraine [1876-1935] was a man of action: actor-manager, soldier, aviator, Fabian & of course, a close friend to Shaw - perhaps best known as an actor he's see most commonly on holiday with the Shaws & Harley Granville-Barker or at Fabian events. Loraine & Shaw shared political affiliations & a passion for theatre: it was Loraine who premiered as the lead in the Man & Superman on Broadway, the production was massively successful & launched Shaw as a force to be reckoned with in the States. A very good or better example in like dustwrapper that has had one tear on the upper spine archivally repaired along with several small chips at the corners. A very nice copy.

SHAW, (George) Bernard.

Back to Methuselah. A Metabiological Pentateuch.

1921 XCI, 267 pp. 8vo. Half dark blue morocco, spine in 6 compartments with gilt lettering, top edge gilt, lower edge partly uncut (by Riviere & son). London, (Clark, Edinburgh, for) Constable & Company, 1921. First English edition, the American edition published by Brentano was issued shortly before. Shaw's ( 1856-1950) play was first produced at the Garrick Theatre in New York in 1922, the first English performance was given in Birmingham in 1923. "Back to Methuselah" consists of five parts, in fact individual dramas, entitled: At the Beginning: 4004 B.C.; The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas: Present Day; The Thing Happens, A.D. 2170; Tragedy of an Elderly Gentleman: A.D. 3000; and As Far as Thought Can Reach: A.D. 31920. The cycle is considered Shaw's main philosophical work, interpreting the history of mankind from the Garden of Eden to the present, with visions of things to come in the far future. It is based on ideas of Lamarck, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Bergson. If the play lacks in action, it certainly shows convincing originality of thought. - KNLL XV, 368. LITERATURE: ENGLISH ;
