Mrs. Warren's Profession: A Play In Four Acts (1906)

Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw, and first published in 1906. The play centers around the character of Mrs. Kitty Warren, a successful brothel owner who has become wealthy through her business. When her daughter, Vivie, returns from university, she discovers the truth about her mother's profession and is forced to confront her own values and beliefs. The play explores themes of morality, class, gender roles, and the hypocrisy of Victorian society. Shaw uses witty dialogue and sharp satire to critique the social norms of the time and challenge the audience's preconceptions. Mrs. Warren's Profession was controversial when it was first published, as it dealt with taboo subjects such as prostitution and women's rights. However, it has since become a classic of modern drama and is regarded as one of Shaw's most important works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
