Beschreibungen/Notizen
This article examines an unpublished manuscript by Lionel Britton, which includes an amplification (sensu Gérard Genette) of Bernard Shaw’s Why She Would Not. The extensive work of Britton, containing substantial paratextual material, Shaw’s five-scene sixteen-page typescript of the original play, and its extended version in four acts, is analyzed as an amplification enlarging the thematic scope of the original text, a postmodern work ahead of its time, and a manifestation of Britton’s main ideological principle of cooperation of minds in the service of human betterment.
