This is the first book in 50 years to be published in the Shaw Alphabet with a side by side comparison with traditional spelling. The book includes multiple works of Edgar Allan Poe in both formats, including many old favourites and many fascinating works that the general public, as a rule, has never heard of, on topics including love poetry, science fiction, science fact, book reviews and more. To help people new to the system, I've included an appendix explaining things that I found challenging with the Shaw Alphabet spelling system and how I resolved them to help people new to the system as well as a complete guide to the alphabet itself.

As you're undoubtedly aware, English is a highly non-phonetic language. So determined was he to change this, George Bernard Shaw would not give up even in death. Instead he proposed a contest in his will to make a 100%% phonetic English alphabet. The contest was held, the alphabet was created and his play Androcles and the Lion was converted to the new alphabet. Instead of spreading far and wide, it sadly died a quiet death... until now. In this work you'll find many examples of Poe's genius. Most know him only as the father of modern horror, not knowing that he also wrote love poetry, science fiction, science fact, plays, book reviews and a documentary on how he wrote The Raven. Now, for the first time ever, you can enjoy Edgar Allan Poe as you've never seen him before... in 100%% phonetic English. NOTE: This special condensed edition is primarily intended for people who are already experienced with the Shaw Alphabet and are fully aware of its advantages over our current spelling system.

This is Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice as you've never seen it before-in the Shavian alphabet. The alphabet takes its name from Irish writer Bernard Shaw who inspired and posthumously funded it. Shaw believed there should be a simpler way to write English. His wish was fulfilled in 1962 following a worldwide competition. The result was a bespoke alphabet for English, with a unique letter for each of the 40 or so basic sounds we all use today. Whether you view this book as a linguistic curiosity, an eccentricexperiment, or as inspiration to explore the possibilities of spellingreform, it shows one thing: English spelling does not have to remain trapped in the Middle Ages. There is no better way to get to know this curious alphabet with its colourful history than by reading one of the best novels in the English language. At the very least, it may help answer one question: how do you pronounce Georgiana?

In his will, George Bernard Shaw left instructions (and some funds) for the development of a new regular alphabet for the English language. A design by Ronald Kingsley Read was chosen. In 1962, Shaw s play Androcles and the Lion was printed in what became known as the Shaw Alphabet, or Shavian. This edition of Alice s Adventures in Wonderland is written entirely in that same alphabet, with fonts specially designed by Michael Everson.
