- Authors
Stafford, Tony J.
- Abstract
A literary critique of the play "You Never Can Tell" by Bernard Shaw is presented. It argues that the play's identity as a romantic comedy is key to understanding the influence of playwright William Shakespeare on it. Topics addressed include the use of maritime settings, the presence of comical coincidences, and the portrayal of strong women.
