The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion

Renaissance man George Bernard Shaw dabbled in economics, criticism and activism, but was best known for his large body of dramatic work, including his 1903 masterpiece Man and Superman. Dedicated to developing fully fleshed-out characters, Shaw wrote The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion in the guise of the protagonist of Man and Superman, John Tanner. The booklet lays out the character's philosophy and political views.
