Bernard Shaw and Noël Cowardconversation pieces /[electronic resource] :by Christopher Wixson. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - ix, 213 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries,2634-582X. - Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries..

Chapter 1. Introduction: Bernard Shaw and Noël Coward -- Chapter 2: Born Bosses and Lost Dogs -- Chapter 3: "Native" Revolts -- Chapter 4: Entropical Turns -- Chapter 5: Why The Life Force Would Not.

This book tracks dramaturgical affinities between some of Bernard Shaw's late "extravagant" plays and those of Noël Coward, in particular their recasting of one another's style and the tradition of manners comedy. While Coward's first play (The Young Idea) all but plagiarizes You Never Can Tell and Shaw responds with his own depictions of the idle rich, their experimental plays in the 1930s also ambitiously engage issues of race and Empire, topics further outside their respective idioms. "Christopher Wixson mines Shaw's rarely-explored engagement with the work of Noël Coward, examining both writers' highly experimental plays from the 1930s in light of such important issues as postwar disillusionment, racial difference, and post-coloniality." Michel Pharand, Queen's University.
