About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms surrounding gender and morality faced intense scrutiny, as thinkers and playwrights began to challenge traditional roles. Bernard Shaw's play "Candida" delves into these themes, presenting a compelling exploration of love, duty, and the complexities of marriage. Central to the narrative are the contrasting ideals of Reverend James Morell, a Christian Socialist, and the bold, independent spirit of his wife, Candida. This thought-provoking work invites readers to consider the implications of social responsibility and personal choice. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Candida" offers rich insights into the evolving dynamics of gender and power. Engage with Shaw's incisive dialogue and discover a world where unalienable rights and personal convictions collide.
