To conform with modern standards, this edition adds apostrophes in words where Shaw typically omitted them, such as “dont” and “weve.” The spelling of certain words, including “shew” (“show”), have also been modernized, including in the title of the play “The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet.” In some cases this edition relies on multiple published editions for each play. For “The Admirable Bashwood,” the text used is that from Translations and Tomfooleries (1926), while the preface and afterword are taken from the 1907 edition of Cashel Byron’s Profession. true - WORD_COUNT - READING_EASE + 170044 + 74.79 https://github.com/standardebooks/george-bernard-shaw_short-plays George Bernard Shaw Shaw, George Bernard @@ -145,79 +218,6 @@ Al Haines Haines, Al trc - - Boxing - LCSH - sh85016186 - Boxing -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - English drama (Comedy) - LCSH - sh85043353 - Marriage--Drama - LCSH - sh2008107247 - Triangles (Interpersonal relations)--Drama - LCSH - sh2008113003 - London (England)--Drama - LCSH - sh2008116057 - Censorship - LCSH - sh85021828 - Horse stealing -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - West (U.S.) -- Drama - LCSH - sh2014000895 - Women -- Suffrage -- Great Britain -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Man-woman relationships -- Drama - LCSH - sh2008107215 - Fitton, Mary, 1578?-1641 -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Catherine II, Empress of Russia, 1729-1796 -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Princesses -- Drama - LCSH - sh2010108240 - Widows -- Drama - LCSH - sh2010118530 - London (England) -- Drama - LCSH - sh2008116057 - World War, 1914-1918 -- Great Britain -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Ireland -- Drama - LCSH - sh2008115496 - World War, 1914-1918 -- Ireland -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - World War, 1914-1918 -- Veterans -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - World War, 1914-1918 -- Drama - LCSH - sh2008113813 - Communism -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Nobility -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown - Soviet Union -- Drama - LCSH - Unknown Christopher Hapka Hapka, Christopher bkp @@ -226,6 +226,10 @@ mrk pfr tyg + Vince Rice + Rice, Vince + https://www.brokenandsaved.com + pfr diff --git a/src/epub/text/colophon.xhtml b/src/epub/text/colophon.xhtml index 5a18445..8692ad1 100644 --- a/src/epub/text/colophon.xhtml +++ b/src/epub/text/colophon.xhtml @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ typefaces created in 2014 and 2009 by
