Up to Now (autobiography) relating to other prominent figures such as the British statesman Viscount Grey. Shaw's book was the first of two autobiographies published in 1929 with the title "Up to Now". The second was by the American politician and four-time Governor of New York, Al Smith. As "The Times Literary Supplement" pointed out, the title promised more to come, but although Shaw lived on for another thirty years, he never published a sequel. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, "Up to Now" continued to be used as a source for biographical works on Gordon Craig, Isadora Duncan and Ellen Terry.
