>Pillars of Society thus features close analysis of individual plays by Ibsen, Shaw, and Brecht, plus readable, comparative surveys of these writers’ dramatic oeuvres and production careers. Shaw wrote about Ibsen’s incipient influence on him in The Quintessence of Ibsenism; early in his career, Brecht wrote an essay about Shaw titled “Three Cheers for Shaw.” These three modern dramatists are linked, in this way, in their common moral, social, and political concerns, as well as in their
idging of such artistic movements as naturalism, symbolism, epic theater, even absurdism.<
