...greatest single cause for the scarcity of assigned reading material is the fact that a large number of the books used by the Government and History departments are published in England.

As novels they are pretty poor; Shaw himself observed that they were "just readable enough to be intolerable." But the three taken together are Victorian documents, and give a good idea of the audacious, irreverent young Shavian mind...
