Abstract
RESUMEN : Ya fuera como GBS o como Corno di Bassetto, la obra crítica de George Bernard Shaw va más allá de los años anteriores a su debut teatral, cuando se ganaba la vida como el crítico más temido de Londres. También siguió practicando la crítica en los largos prólogos que posteriormente añadió a sus propias obras en sus versiones impresas y en las incontables cartas en las que el irlandés daba rienda suelta a su pasatiempo favorito: opinar de todo. Con este trabajo se pretende repasar esta cantidad ingente de material y rastrear las pocas menciones de Shaw al teatro español para conformar así una panorámica general de su conocimiento y opinión sobre el teatro de España y cómo estas ideas pudieron influir en su relación con el país ibérico.
ABSTRACT : The critical works by George Bernard Shaw, whether under the name of GBS or Corno di Bassetto, date back to far before he made his debut as a playwright, when he made a living as the most feared critic of the London press. Shaw continued practising criticism in the long prefaces that he added to his own published works, and in the countless amount of letters in which the Irish author unleashed his favourite hobby: giving his opinion on everything. This paper aims at reviewing this vast volume of material and tracking the few instances when Shaw mentioned Spanish theatre, in order to shape a general overview of Shaw’s knowledge and opinion of Spanish drama, and on how these ideas could have had an influence in his relationship towards Spain.
