'!» " * * BERNARD SHAW CHAPTER I A PRELIMINARY VIEW It might be said that to declare Shaw a man behind a mask is only a way of calling him a hu- man being. We are... all masks, as the very ety- mology of person implies. Behind our words and deeds and personalities hides the real ego known only to itself and its maker; indeed, lucky if in an occasional crisis it be known to itself. George Eliot says somewhere that we are always either overestimating or underesti- mating our fellows ; it is only God who sees us as we are. The gnomic saying of the Greeks, " Know thyself, " takes a deeper meaning as its full modern implications are realized.
Nevertheless, the title of this book is justified in that Shaw has seen fit to adopt a method and has fostered a popular idea of him which ob- 2 BEj^NARD SHAW scure his true personality and the meaning of his work.
