HTML: Dive into the drama and action of the American Revolution in The Devil's Disciple, George Bernard Shaw's only play set entirely on U.S. soil. The protagonist, Richard Dudgeon, is a misfit and self-proclaimed "devil's disciple," but when the chips are down, he displays a level of courage and virtue that few others possess. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

As for the play itself, I think it is one of Shaw's finest. It has his dry sense of humor coupled with a sense of social conscience but by being in a historical setting, some of Shaw's edge is mellowed yet deepened. I have found some of his work too strident but that is not the case here. In addition, the few pages of notes at the end of the play in my edition about the history of General Burgoyne & relating it to the then current Boer War was fascinating! ( )
