      History

      Fritz Erwin Loewenstein, Doctor of Philosophy and founder of the London Shaw Society, was a German refugee who did paperwork for George Bernard Shaw. In the late 1940s, Doctor Loewenstein was working as the sole biographer of George Bernard Shaw. Loewenstein later published 'Bernard Shaw Through the Camera' in 1948. Upon Shaw's death in 1950, his will left financial accomodation for Doctor Loewenstein to be able to finish his bibliographical work. Because of this support, Doctor Loewenstein was able to publish, 'The Rehearsal Copies of Bernard Shaw's Plays: A Bibliographical Study' that year.
