Norwalk, Connecticut: The Heritage Press, 1979. Near Fine in Very Good slipcase. No other printings listed. The book is tight and square with solid hinges and bindings, sharp tips, and clean, unmarred cloth boards. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings, and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Numerous drawings by Charles Him. Preface by the author. 215 pages. 7 x 11¾ tall. The slipcase is very good with edge fading and light wear. Includes The Heritage Club's, Sandglass, a four-page pamphlet about the great Irish genius and the importance of the two plays.
In these two plays of ideas, Shaw employed traditional dramatic forms — Victorian melodrama, the history play and the adventure story. Set during the American War of Independence, “The Devil’s Disciple” exposes fake Puritanism and piety, while “Caesar and Cleopatra”, a cheeky riposte to Shakespeare, redefines heroism in the character of the aging Roman leader.
