This copy inscribed on the half-title in black fountain pen: "To Robert Loraine / from Bernard Shaw. / 23rd Feb. 1911". Laurence Loraine [1876-1935] was a man of action: actor-manager, soldier, aviator, Fabian and of course, a close friend to Shaw - perhaps best known as an actor he's seen most commonly on holiday with the Shaws and Harley Granville-Barker or at Fabian events. Loraine and Shaw shared political affiliations and a passion for theatre: it was Loraine who premiered as the lead in Man and Superman on Broadway, the production was massively successful and launched Shaw as a force to be reckoned with in the United States. A significant association copy. .
