Despite having an inconsistent education during his childhood, Shaw is credited as one of the great literary figures of the 20th century, praised for his wit and genius. The works in this set include Shaw's first financially successful play, The Devil's Disciple, as well as many of his other earlier plays, including his very first, the Widowers' House.
