The leading playwright of his generation, Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw wrote more than sixty plays throughout his lifetime including Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan (1923). His works incorporated contemporary satire and historical allegory and he has regularly been rated as second only to Shakespeare among British dramatists.
