Overview of Arms and The Man (Kerala University) Book

Bernard Shaws Arms and the Man, written in 1894, is one of his most important plays. This was one of Shaws plays that were meant to be pleasant because, instead of dealing with social issues, it takes the situations of conventional theatre and contrasts real life with the romantic attitudes to theatre prevalent at the time. Arms and the Man breaks the idolatry of war and the romanticism of love. Set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War of the late nineteenth century, the play is an attempt to distinguish between false romanticism and practical human behaviour. To this day, it remains as popular as it was at the time of its first performance. The themes in the play are still relevant and true. The characters remain etched in memory long after the play is read. Each title in this series has a general critical introduction to the work of Shaw, a specific introduction to the play itself, the authors own preface and also notes and glossaries. It is hoped that all this additional material will provide the student with a complete background of the work and the period.
