Book excerpt: Bernard Shaw, the Victorian playwright and Don Juan of London's socialist Fabian Society, finds himself attracted to an Irish millionairess: Charlotte Payne-Townshend. Shaw's friend Sidney Webb, a romantic Cockney intellectual, pursues a beautiful upper-class social reformer named Beatrice Potter. The Fabians share a country cottage for the summer. Oscar Wilde joins them to avoid the temptations of London. The radicals' industry and social activism clash with Wilde's self-indulgence; yet, he offers sage advice and commentary as the romances falter. Returning to London, the friends make life-altering decisions, including one that leads to a tragic destiny.
