Exception has been taken to the title of this seeming tomfoolery on the ground that the Catherine it represents is not Great Catherine, but the Catherine whose gallantries provide some of the lightest pages of modern history. Great Catherine, it is said, was the Catherine whose diplomacy, whose campaigns and conquests, whose plans of Liberal reform, whose correspondence with Grimm and Voltaire enabled her to cut such a magnificent figure in the eighteenth century.

An interesting farce By Israel Drazin Shaw calls this short play a "bravura" piece, meaning that it was composed for a particular actress as a vehicle for her to display her acting skills. It is actually a farce - a play that is light in tone, in which the plot depends upon situation rather than character; a ridiculous unrealistic sham; a mockery. Shaw introduces the historical Catherine as a rather silly German ruler of Russia, who dislikes everything associated with being a ruler, who likes sexual liaisons. She meets an English captain who is, as Shaw generally portrays Englishmen, a foolish undereducated snob, for Shaw (1856-1950), who was brilliant, was born an Irishman. Shaw tells us that the actress for whom he wrote the play performed excellently. We readers will find the play funny, although at times, like the Englishman, silly, but still worth reading for its humor.

I was actually looking for a biography about Catherine the Great, not a novel about Catherine the Great. I did start to read the book, and found that books need to grab me from the beginning, and this book did not. I'm sure there are people out there that would love this book as it is written by the great George Bernard Shaw. Like I stated earlier, I was actually looking for a biography regarding Catherine the Great. She was definitely a woman ahead of her time, she was not a Romanov, and became Czarina against all odds. I gave this book a 3 as I didn't dislike it, and didn't finish enough of it to give it a 4 or 5 star rating that it probably deserves!

I don't know enough about this time period to know if the facts were correct. However at parts it seemed the book moved way too quick given the period it was supposed to represent.
