Shaw the bicycle buff and sharp witted writer
Arnold Daly’s praise of George Bernard Shaw has sparked wide interest in the Irish born dramatist. Shaw recalls a strict family background in Dublin 1856, self education through music art and travel, and his belief that being talked about matters more than praise. He describes his method of humor as earnest, using levity to win audiences, and recounts early London reception of Arms and the Man. Shaw notes a stubborn stance on cuts to You Never Can Tell and his clash with Cyril Maude, while recalling Wilde’s view of his popularity. He jokes about a dinner with Daly and notes Mrs Shaw’s love of travel. Shaw is also described as a long bearded bicycle enthusiast seen riding in London in knee breeches.
