Abstract
Matthew Yde considers “In Good King Charles’ Golden Days,” The Apple Cart , and Geneva . While acknowledging that Shaw’s views on marriage are various and often contradictory, he suggests that the best place to look for Shaw’s overriding opinion on the topic is in his own childless yet seemingly happy marriage to Charlotte, as reflected in The Apple Cart and Good King Charles.
