About the Book
Candida, a comedy by renowned playwright George Bernard Shaw, was written in 1894 and first published in 1898 as part of his Plays Pleasant. The story revolves around clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida, and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who seeks to win Candida’s affections. Through this triangular conflict, Shaw explores Victorian notions of love, marriage, and the deeper question of what a woman truly desires from her husband.
The play also reflects Shaw’s Fabian Socialist ideals, with Morell depicted as a Christian Socialist, allowing the dramatist to subtly weave political themes and contemporary social issues into the narrative. Brilliantly witty and thought-provoking, Candida continues to resonate with modern readers for its sharp questioning of gender roles, relationships, and societal norms.
