Excerpt from Dramatic Opinions and Essays, Vol. 1: Containing as Well a Word on the Dramatic Opinions and Essays of G. Bernard Shaw By this time the world is acquainted with the Shaw opinions, the Shaw plays, novels, prefaces and the Shavian philosophy. If not, then it is no fault Of the illustrious G. B. S. He has toiled for publicity. He acknowledges the fact. And there is no denying that such muscularity in behalf Of one's personality must have proved mortifying to a man of Shaw's retiring na ture; he remarks somewhere that he is congenitally Shy. Yet when popularity came he fought against it. He metaphorically twiddled the fingers of scorn in the face of a credulous and eager public. Like Richard Wagner Bernard Shaw insulted the English world only to capture, in the end, its suffrage, its sympathy, its admiration. Little wonder, then, there are moments when he doubts himself, his mission, even his originality. Success during one's lifetime is not always the reward of genius.
