BERNARD SHAW

N.B. The Euripidean verses in the second act of Major Barbara are not

by me, or even directly by Euripides. They are by Professor Gilbert

Murray, whose English version of The Baccha; came into our dramatic

literature with all the impulsive power of an original work shortly

before Major Barbara was begun. The play, indeed, stands indebted to

him in more ways than one.
