George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man

Arms and the Man is anti-romantic comedy, in which Shaw opposes and criticises the romantic ideas about love and war. The original name of the play was Alps and Balkans because the story is based on an incident in the war between Bulgaria and Austria in 1885. This book gives an elaborate interpretation of G.B. Shaw’s literary art and philosophy—besides the analytical description of Arms and the Man with the help of summary, notes and model questions. Students of English literature will find this effort of utmost use.
