| 520 | _a"Six Major Prophets" by Edwin E. Slosson is a literary exploration written in the early 20th century. This work presents detailed sketches and analyses of prominent intellectual figures of the time, referred to as "major prophets," including playwright George Bernard Shaw and author H.G. Wells. Through these profiles, Slosson aims to illuminate the thinkers who have significantly influenced contemporary thought, philosophy, and culture. The opening of the text establishes Slosson's intent to provide an insightful introduction to his selected subjects. He shares his personal motivation for writing the bookâhis desire to better understand influential figures he had never met. Following this, Slosson introduces the first major prophet, George Bernard Shaw, highlighting Shaw's significance, his outspoken views, and how his work has been re-evaluated in the context of contemporary events, particularly the impact of World War I. Slosson prepares readers for an exploration of Shaw's contributions to drama and social commentary, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the various personalities that follow in the subsequent chapters.
