BERNARD SHAW AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES BERNARD S...

This book traces the effects of materiality - including money and its opposite  poverty - on
the psychical lives of George Bernard Shaw and his characters. While this study focuses on the
protagonists of the five novels Shaw wrote in the late 1870s and early 1880s  it also explores
how materialism  feeling  and emotion are linked throughout his entire canon. At the same time
it demonstrates how Shaw's conceptions of human subjectivity parallel those of two of his
contemporaries  Sigmund Freud and Georg Simmel. In particular  this book explores how theories
of so-called 'marginal economics' influence fin de siècle thought about human psychology and
the sociology of the modern metropolis  particularly London.
