Sidney
Trefusis
is
a
proselytizing
socialist.
Armed
with
irony
and
paradox,
he
is
determined
to
overthrow
a
society
riddled
with
class
and
sexual
exploitation.Henrietta,
his
adoring
wife,
'loves'
him:
he
must
abandon
her.
Son
of
a
millionaire,
he
gives
up
everything
to
pose
as
an
'umble
peasant'.
But
when
this
unsocial
socialist
goes
to
work
as
a
gardener
in
the
vicinity
of
a
girls'
school
he
meets
his
match
-
for
Agatha
Wylie
is
a
new
kind
of
woman,
perfectly
armed:
and
she
doesn't
love
him.With
the
character
of
his
clown-prophet
Trefusis,
George
Bernard
Shaw
presented
for
the
first
time
his
view
of
what
the
relationship
between
the
sexes
should
be.
Galloping,
exuberant,
and
irresistibly
entertaining,
AN
UNSOCIAL
SOCIALIST
is
a
brilliant
satire
on
social
prejudice
from
a
great
author
of
the past.
