When they began exchanging letters in the late 1890s, Shaw was a renowned Fabian propagandist, reviewer, and author of anti-conventional plays. Murray was a classicist and translator of ancient Greek drama who would eventually become Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford. Beginning with their shared distaste for the popular “well-made plays” of the era, their correspondence quickly expanded into collaboration – Murray helped revise Shaw’s \u003cem\u003eMajor Barbara\u003c\/em\u003e, in which he appears as a character  – and discussion of a vast range of issues ranging from alphabet reform and psychic phenomena to the League of Nations and international politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection of 171 letters, most never before published, finally makes the fascinating Shaw\/Murray correspondence available.
