Three Plays for Puritans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three Plays for Puritans is a collection of plays by George Bernard Shaw published in 1900.

It consists of The Devil's Disciple (1897), Caesar and Cleopatra (1898) and Captain Brassbound's Conversion (1900), with a long preface by Shaw in three parts in which he expounds many of his thoughts on drama. In the preface, Shaw also introduced the term "bardolatry," to describe excessive admiration for Shakespeare.

The title later appeared in a Penguin Classics edition.
