abstract:Between 1875 and 1950, Bernard Shaw sent frequent letters to British newspapers about a staggering range of topics—everything from international affairs to the metric system. Those letters entertained and enlightened (and sometimes shocked) the British public, who soon learned to look forward to an encounter with the fabled GBS when they sat down with their morning paper. Researchers already know that Shaw's letters are a treasure trove of resource material. In this article, the author suggests another use for them—as a tool for learning more about the language issues that hold so much interest for postmodern philosophers.

abstract:"To Your Tents, Oh Israel!" may be Shaw's key work of political journalism written during his time as a full-time journalist. Shaw drafted the essay, signed "The Fabian Society" when published in the Fortnightly Review (November 1893), with input from Sidney Webb and the approval of the Fabian Society executive and publishing committees. As Beatrice Webb wrote in her diary: "The excitement of the autumn has been the issue of the Fabian manifesto … Shaw's manufacturing out of Sidney's facts." As an attack on Gladstone's Liberal Party for its failure after nearly two years in government to fulfill the promises of the 1891 Newcastle Program, the manifesto, dripping with sarcasm (unusual enough in Shaw's polemics) and heightened irony, succeeded in its aim of effecting a cleavage between the Fabian Society and the Liberal Party, after seven years spent assiduously permeating it.

abstract:For more than half a century, Shaw denounced racism and its counterpart, anti-Semitism, as well as the very idea of White supremacy, especially as they have been manifested in England and the British Empire (Egypt, India, South Africa, Australia, and Canada) as well as the United States and Nazi Germany. He related them to each other and to caste, social classes, and capitalism. This article surveys Shaw's dramatic and nondramatic works, including prefaces, interviews, articles, and his novella The Black Girl in Search of God, to provide an overview of Shaw's views on racism (including his solution to this social evil) and to argue that his perspectives remain relevant to twenty-first-century struggles against it.

abstract:This article focuses on the emergence of a new professional society in turn-of-the-century England and explores how Victorian masculinity is challenged by prostitution in George Bernard Shaw's play Mrs Warren's Profession (1893). Mrs Warren undermines Victorian masculinity by subverting the professional ideal undergirding late Victorian society. Mrs Warren challenges the Victorian acceptance of the Protestant notion of work as "duty" and alleges how work is deeply related with economic necessity. Also, Mrs Warren debunks the Victorian acceptance of the Christian notion of body and work and claims how work becomes a practice of self-formation via self-distancing not self-discipline.

abstract:Of the various motifs that have influenced Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, the myth of Pygmalion, the fairytale Cinderella, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein are frequently mentioned, while Goethe's Faust also crops up sporadically. This study seeks to verify that the correlation between Pygmalion and Faust is not simply compositional and confirm that Shaw not only was influenced by various favorite operas (which use Part 1 of Faust as a major plot) but also had Faust in mind (including Part 2) in the overall structure, as evidenced in this study through an analysis of specific scenes.

abstract:This study serves as a prequel to my article "Shaw's Interior Authors: Censored and Modern," which explores Shaw's use of characters who write in his plays and who experience some form of censorship that resembles the experiences of their creator. Interestingly, characters in the early works of Shaw, his five novels, also feel the sting of censorship, albeit in differing degrees from those in his dramas. Because Shaw's works, both plays and novels, that were suppressed often feature harsh indictments of established society, they become, in effect, proto-modern, as he attacks class, gender, and religious norms of his day.
