内容説明
The second volume in the attractive new format ranges the early Shavian canon from Mrs Warren's Profession to Pygmalion, offering new insights as well into Candida, Man and Superman, John Bull's Other Island and Major Barbara. It includes analyses of Shaw's Wagnerism in particular the profound impact of Siegfried and his paradoxical "Republican Royalism, '' which surfaced early and persisted late. One essay good-humoredly demonstrates the possible impact of "The Lady Automaton," a turn-of-the-century science-fiction story, on Pygmalion, and the charming "period story" itself is reprinted as tailpiece. The introduction to the volume (unconnected with "The Lady Automaton") is SF writer Ray Bradbury's delightful satiric poem, "G.B.S. and the Loin of Pork." A major section of SHAW is devoted to an annotated checklist, "The Shaw/Dickens File," which proves not only how often Shaw mined his favorite novelist, but that checklists can even be entertaining reading.
The regular departmental features proven so essential to Shaw studies the "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana" (now an annotated annual bibliography) and reviews of relevant new books continue in the new SHAW."

内容説明
Continuing the tradition established by predecessors, this fourth volume of SHAW covers a spectrum as wide as the Shavian canon itself, an account of the initial reaction to Shaw's plays in France to an analysis of psychological system Shaw employed in his plays. Other essays examine the relationship between the women in Shaw's life and the female characters in his plays, particularly The Millionairess; the parallels between Major Barbara and The Merchant of Venice; the thematic unity of Shaw's "big three": John Bull's Other Island, Man and Superman, and Major Barbara; and the surprising similarities between Too True Be Good and Lady Chatterley's Lover. This volume also contains a selection of Shaw's dramatic criticism from Our Corner, a London monthly of the 1880s, a history of the literary debate between Shaw and William Archer on the writing of The Doctor's Dilemma. Two of the contributors to the annual are best known for their work in other areas: Ray Bradbury, who once again demonstrates his appreciation of Shavian wit, this time in two poems on Shaw and Chesterton, and Constance Cummings, who recounts her experiences playing the lead in Shaw's Saint Joan, one of the highlights of her distinguished career.
Also included are the regular departmental features the "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana" and reviews of relevant new books that keep Shavian scholars and interested readers informed of recent additions in the realm of Shaw studies.
Contributors: Jean-Claude Amalric, Karl Beckson, Charles Berst, Marianne Bosch, Ray Bradbury, Constance Cummings, Richard Dietrich, Bernard Dukore, Daniel Leary, Frederick McDowell, W.R. Martin, Use Pedersen, John R. Pfeiffer, Martin Quinn, Alfred Turco, Jr., Stanley Weintraub, and Sam A. Yorks."

v. 6 ISBN 9780271004266
内容説明
Carrying on the off-beat and far-ranging tradition of Shaw, this sixth volume opens with an account of the identification and naming of Pointe Bernard Shaw, a peninsula in northern Quebec, whose form viewed from the air resembles the famous Shaw profile, as shown in an accompanying photograph. Here also are a classic comparison of Shaw's activities during the First World War with those of Jonathan Swift during the years of the War of the Spanish Succession, exhibiting the belief of each that literary work should not exist in an aesthetic vacuum; a study of the enlargement of Shaw's intellectual world through his contacts with Albert Einstein; the discovery of the almost certain source of Jennifer Dubedat in Doctor's Dilemma in a strikingly attractive Australian widow; a moving account of the long friendship of Shaw and Laurence Housman, with Housman's drawing of Shaw; a speculation about the true mystery of Candida, celebrating as it does the birth of a poet's art; firsthand accounts by contemporary actresses such as Wendy Hiller, Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, and Barbara Jefford on their experience of playing Shaw's St. Joan; and two previously unpublished scintillating Shaw pieces, one of these a futuristic fantasy that is a rare piece of Shavian prose fiction.

v. 8 ISBN 9780271006130
内容説明
The newest volume of SHAW captures the variety and range of Bernard Shaw's multifarious activities over a long and crowded lifetime. We see G.B.S. as an anonymous reporter covering Queen Victoria's opening of the Royal Institution in London; as an unknown book reviewer of a volume about doctors, anticipating his play; as a Mozart-saturated former music critic putting his version of Don Giovanni into his own opera-without-music, Don Juan in HelI; and as an early aviator including an encounter with a daring lady parachutist in Misalliance. And we see Shaw inserting his ideas of Ireland into John Bull's Other Island; propagandizing for a young French playwright because the new ideas eclipsed, for him, Eugene Brieux's turgid dramaturgy; and engaging in half-a-century of exasperated mutual admiration with an Englishman whose ideas he detested but whose personality overwhelmed ideology Winston Churchill. Finally, a post-Shaw actor, and one of the ornaments of the contemporary London stage, Daniel Massey, explains how to perform the Master's lines today."

内容説明
This newest volume of SHAW examines aspects of Bernard Shaw's life and work, his involvement with various contemporaries, and his wide-ranging interests throughout a long and multifaceted career.
An overview of novelist Elinor Huddart's 1878 1894 letters that Shaw preserved provides glimpses of Shaw from his early struggles as a novelist through his initial successes as a playwright. Other articles reveal Shaw's attempts during the Edwardian years to find a market for his plays in the variety palaces; the uproar that Arms and the Man provoked from Austrian, Bulgarian, and Serbian audiences; and the importance of Salvation Army 'General' William Booth in the creation of Major Barbara.
J. M. Barrie's Punch: A Toy Tragedy in One Act, never before published, lets us see Shaw from the perspective of a genially satiric contemporary. One essay follows Galsworthy and Shaw as they try to come to grips with the horrors of World War I, and another explores Harley Granville Barker's answers in The Secret Life to painful questions posed by Heartbreak House.
The music collection at Shaw's Corner at Ayot St. Lawrence reveals Shaw's "tireless enthusiasm, remarkably broadminded approach, and eclectic taste" in his lifelong appreciation of music. An examination of Shaw's ethics from his early writings through his late works shows several affinities with the thought of Erich Fromm and of Aristotle.
Also included in this volume are two unsigned notices by Shaw that appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette in 1885, reviews of three significant 1988 additions to Shavian scholarship, and the "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana."

内容説明
SHAW 18 offers fourteen articles that illuminate aspects of Shaw's family history, relations with contemporaries, evolving reputation, and dramatic works.Dan H. Laurence presents an authoritative genealogy of the Shaw and Gurly sides of Shaw's family. Among discoveries that have long eluded Shaw's biographers is the birthdate of Elinor Agnes "Yuppy" Shaw, Shaw's sister.Michael W. Pharand assesses Shaw's intense dislike of Sarah Bernhardt. Stanley Weintraub analyzes Shaw's presence in the plays of Eugene O'Neill. Shaw's Advice to Irishmen, a newspaper account of Shaw's 1918 Dublin lecture "Literature in Ireland," records Shaw's comments on George Moore, J. M. Synge, and James Joyce.Robert G. Everding surveys Shaw festivals from 1916 in Ireland to the present-day Shaw festivals in Ontario and Milwaukee. In a review of Frank Harris on Bernard Shaw (1931), Richard Aldington dismisses Shaw as human being, thinker, and dramatist: "You must be a Shavian to admire and love Shaw the artist." In an interview with Leon Hugo, biographer Michael Holroyd discusses his biography of G.B.S., responses to his biography, and future work involving G.B.S.Jeffrey M. Wallmann argues that alienation in Shaw's plays enhances their contemporary value. Bernard F. Dukore investigates Shaw's reasons for discarding the original final act of The Philanderer. Rodelle Weintraub argues persuasively that You Never Can Tell requires the audience to choose between "Crampton's reality" and "Crampton's dream."Mark H. Sterner, weighing the various charges against Ann Whitefield's character in Man and Superman, concludes that Shaw's treatment of her and Tanner "as significantly different, but nevertheless equal . . . in itself was a revolutionary change in the status of sexual power relationships." Julie A. Sparks identifies W. W. Henley's sonnet "'Liza" as a likely source not only for some of Eliza's traits in Pygmalion but also for images in Man and Superman and Major Barbara.Charles A. Carpenter considers Buoyant Billions and Farfetched Fables in the context of Shaw's response to the birth of the atomic age. Paul Bauschatz, evaluating the differences between My Fair Lady and Pygmalion, illustrates why the film can reflect Shaw's play "only uneasily."SHAW 18 includes five reviews of recent additions to Shavian scholarship as well as John R. Pfeiffer's "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana."

v. 21 ISBN 9780271021270
内容説明
SHAW 21 offers readers an eclectic perspective on Shaw, his works, and his contemporaries. Basil Langton, actor and director, reminisces about his early development as an actor, his meeting with Shaw, and his career as director of many of Shaw's plays. He focuses upon Shaw's stagecraft, augmenting his views with those of Sybil Thorndike and Sir Lewis Casson, whom he interviewed in 1960. Galen Goodwin Longstreth analyzes the correspondence between Shaw and Ellen Terry and argues that the exchange is itself a literary genre, a dramatic performance that reveals their personal identities.
The next two contributors, Stanley Weintraub and Andrea Adolph, examine the Shaw/Virginia Woolf relationship. Weintraub focuses on those occasions when their respective lives touched each other, what their feelings for each other were, and how those occasions were obliquely woven into Shaw's plays, most notably Heartbreak House. Professor Adoph argues that in Woolf's only dramatic text, Freshwater: A Comedy, she was conforming to the traditional theatrical mode of the day, dominated, of course, by Shaw, but that she subverted his traditional literary depiction of paternity as, for example, the paternity dramatized in Major Barbara.
Sidney Albert and Bernard Dukore provide unique perspectives on reading Major Barbara. Albert shows how John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress serves as Shaw's source for Barbara's progress toward enlightened understanding. Dukore, focusing on the perspective of the familial relationship within the play, concludes that Shaw's dialectic gives the kids the future and not the dad. It will be the next generation, not Father Undershaft, who will determine where society will go next.
Julie Sparks and Martin Bucco approach Shaw from a comparative basis, juxtaposing him with two American writers, contemporaries of Shaw, Mark Twain and Sinclair Lewis, respectively. Sparks explores the commonality that exists in Shaw's and Twain's thinking about evolution, namely, their heretical visions of a post-Darwinian Eden. Both viewed conventional Christianity iconoclastically, but both arrived at different conclusions about human origin and destiny, a view Sparks describes as emanating from the deist-pessimist-evolutionary-determinist perspective versus the mystic-optimistic-creative-evolutionist perspective, or the Personal Godhead versus the Impersonal Force. Professor Bucco enumerates the many references Sinclair Lewis makes to Bernard Shaw throughout his writings, both prose and fiction, to underscore the American novelist's admiration for the Irish playwright, both recipients of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The final two contributors to SHAW 21, Rodelle Weintraub and William Doan, provide the readers with distinctive perspectives on John Bull's Other Island and The Doctor's Dilemma, respectively. Weintraub recasts the play into a dream sequence whereby Doyle's dream becomes an artifice for problem solving. Implied within Father Keegan's lines in the play, "Every dream is a prophecy: every jest is an earnest in the womb of Time," is the resolution of Doyle's problem with Nora, the girl he had left behind, and of the dream of modernizing Roscullen. Doan suggests that in The Doctor's Dilemma Shaw uses the idea of unconsummated adultery to argue for the efficacy of art over science. In the conflict between the artist and the scientist, the latter plans to have the artist's muse. In the end, not only is he deprived of the wife but also of the works of art themselves and the spirit that animates them. SHAW 21 also includes three reviews of recent additions to Shavian scholarship as well as John R. Pfeiffer's "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana. "

内容説明
SHAW 25 offers eighteen articles, thirteen initially presented at the International Shaw Society conference, 17-21 March 2004, Sarasota, Florida. Additional conference and Shaw Festival Symposia information is provided in the Introduction.
Stanley Weintraub's conference keynote, "Shaw for the Here and Now," considers modernizing Shaw's plays, validating Shaw's creative force for today and into the future. Dan H. Laurence's delightful "Shaw's Children" shows a warm, caring, playful Shaw-a giver of self. Howard Ira Einsohn's article on gifting brings together Shaw, Ricoeur, and Derrida to explore the ethics of giving "superabundantly" but not foolishly. Jay Tunney reflects on the ways in which his father, boxer Gene Tunney, fits the personal and professional shoes of Shaw's Cashel Byron, with life imitating art.
In "Machiavelli, the Shark, and the Tinpot Tragedienne," Bernard F. Dukore delivers a rereading of Major Barbara that highlights characters and traits, revealing an ensnarling web of beliefs, values, actions, and consequences. Sidney P. Albert's essay explores connections between Major Barbara and Plato's Republic. Using a current theoretical lens, Vicki R. Kennell sees Pygmalion as a narrative literary bridge that predicates postmodern critiques. L.W. Conolly's research on Phillipa Summers reveals a model for Vivie Warren and provides insights into women's lives and education at the turn of the century.
In "Who's Modern Now? Shaw, Joyce, and Ibsen's When We Dead Awaken," Kathleen Ochshorn looks at the interrelationships of the three dramatists. Miriam Chirico rewrites critical opinion of You Never Can Tell, arguing that the play is a serious social critique, particularly of marriage. Citing two well-documented instances of Shaw-bashing, John A. Bertolini explores Shaw's responses and reveals Shaw's fair-mindedness. Hannes Schweiger's detailed research substantiates Shaw's influential connection to Viennese culture and politics. Valerie Barnes Lipscomb analyzes Shaw's use of age differences to subvert romantic expectations, thereby drawing greater attention to serious sociocultural issues.
Part II continues the legacy of Shaw scholarship with Charles A. Carpenter's must-read bibliographic piece, which reads like a mystery and gives a wealth of research information on Shaw. Focusing on the importance and difficulties of cycle plays, Julie Sparks looks at Man and Superman, Heartbreak House, Back to Methuselah, and current offerings such as Kushner's Angels in America. Kay Li, tracing the influence of Shaw on Chinese drama, argues that modern Chinese drama emerged from the failure of Mrs. Warren's Profession. Frank Duba's article analyzes the evolving role of the Preface in Shaw's works, focusing especially on Man and Superman.
Coming full circle, the volume returns to Stanley Weintraub's presentation of Shaw and the fascinating story of Lady Colin Campbell-a story that asks us to consider what it means to be endowed with beauty, fame, and ambition, and what it means to finally lose them. Finally, Michael W. Pharand's addendum to SHAW 24 gives supplementary bibliography on Shavian matters related to love, sex, marriage, and women. SHAW 25 also includes reviews as well as John R. Pfieffer's "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana."
