George Bernard Shaw's "Candida" offers a sharp and witty social commentary on Victorian era marriage and the complexities of man-woman relationships. This enduring drama explores the dynamics within a seemingly stable marriage when a passionate young poet enters the scene, creating an unexpected love triangle. Shaw masterfully uses the stage to dissect societal expectations and challenge conventional views of love, duty, and personal fulfillment. As a significant work of feminist literature, "Candida" presents a nuanced portrayal of a woman's agency and her right to self-determination within the confines of marriage. Its themes of social expectations and individual desires remain remarkably relevant, sparking thought-provoking discussions about the nature of relationships and the roles individuals play within them. This meticulously prepared print edition allows readers to experience Shaw's brilliance in its original form, ensuring an authentic encounter with this timeless classic.
