The second volume in the series of Shaw's correspondence contains 152 letters between him and fellow Victorian British writer and Fabian Club member Wells, exchanged between 1901 and 1946. Most of them are by Shaw and most previously unpublished. They encourage, advise, bully, and sometimes insult each other over literature, drama, sex, education, Russia, wives, and a wide range of other topics. An afterword provides their published views of each other. Notes clarify names and events mentioned, and sometimes contextualize the letters. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
