George Bernard Shaw
Shaw is a playwright with a socialistic purpose, and although he expresses himself through drama (mainly comedic), he did not go for cheap laughter. He uses comedy and wit as a means to an end, and if he does not feel this end is met, he considers his efforts a failure.

Germaine de Stael, George Sand and the Victorian Woman Artist
By examining literary portraits of the woman as artist, Linda M. Lewis traces the matrilineal inheritance of four Victorian novelists and poets: George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Geraldine Jewsbury and Mrs Humphrey Ward. She argues that while the male Romantic artist saw himself as a god and hero, the women of genius lacked a guiding myth until Germaine de Stael and George Sand created one. The protagonists of Staels "Corinne" and Sand's "Consuelo" combine attributes of the goddess Athena, the Virgin Mary, Virgil's Sibyl and Dante's Beatrice.
