Talk:Quintessence of Ibsenism

This says really nothing about the book itself, whose subject is Henrik Ibsen, Norwegian playwright. Instead, it contents itself with a stripped down version of Shaw's ideas about character and society, taken from the introduction to the Quintessence, and which were merely suggestive remarks to help locate the real subject of the book, which is, the notion that literary artists can help effect moral revolutions in society. I would strongly recommend that this be incorporated into the article on Shaw, perhaps under a sub-heading, "Shaw's ideas about human nature." Theonemacduff (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The Shaw article is already too big, if we accept the recommendations in WP:SIZE. Don't forget that, originally, this was a spinoff article from Shaw because it was considered WP:UNDUE there: see previous discussion leading to spinoff. Better to fix the shortcomings (which, as one of those advocating the transfer, I do acknowledge) on this page. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
