Following his masterly biography of Lytton Strachey, Holroyd has given us a definitive work on the great GBS which I cannot see bettered. Dramatist polymath he strode the world of letters like a whirlwind and became one of the world's most famous men. His dream of the socialist society under which his lifestyle would have been curtailed proved a chimera.
