Abstract
This book aims to provide what might be described, in imitation of Shaw’s title for his 1944 work, Everybody’s Political What’s What?, as ‘Everybody’s Shavian What Was When and Who Was Who’. In other words, the book presents a full chronology of significant events in Shaw’s life, prefaced by an account of his ancestry and family, and followed by a ‘Who’s Who’ of the most important of his associates during his long and multi-faceted career.
