Cashel Byron's Profession is a novel written by Irish playwright and author, George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1901. The novel tells the story of Cashel Byron, a young man from a poor background who becomes a professional boxer to make a living. Despite his success in the ring, Cashel is conflicted about his profession and struggles to reconcile his love of boxing with his desire for a more intellectual and refined life.In addition to the novel, the book also includes two plays by Shaw: The Admirable Bashville, a satirical comedy about a cowardly poet who becomes a hero by accident, and an essay on prizefighting, in which Shaw argues that boxing is a legitimate sport that requires skill and discipline.Overall, Cashel Byron's Profession is a thought-provoking and entertaining work that explores themes of class, ambition, and the nature of success. Shaw's sharp wit and social commentary are on full display in this book, making it a must-read for fans of his work and anyone interested in Victorian-era literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
