B. C. Rosset in Shaw of Dublin: The Formative Years has shown Henderson's inaccurate citation of the dates of Shaw's enrollment in grammar school to have been due to Henderson's reliance upon Shaw's memory for the information. Rosset questions factual accuracy in Henderson's work on Shaw as a whole. See GBS: Man of the Century, p. 19; Rosset, p. 178.

PP, p. 323. Henderson found this a bit much to say in his own voice; thus, he recast it into this form: "what Shaw once described as his 'inhuman clearness of analysis'. . . ."

Henderson quotes from the Supplement to The Saturday Review, May 13, 1899, on typescript page 357.

Henderson defends his biographical procedure in most of his works on Shaw, but nowhere more insistently than in Appendix I, "Explication and Obligation," PP, pp. 797-801.
