Ervine's view is both more intimate and more level than that of earlier Shavian biographers, who usually presented him as a fabulous monster. Ervine is able to discuss his immense shyness, to chide him when necessary for the "tosh" that often came from his "spinsterly mind," to assert, against all previous evidence, that he was generous in money matters, and to dispose of Oxford Don A.J.P.

Unlike its Italian counterparts, The Beggar's Opera thrives on provincialism rather than pomp.
