It has, we think, always been a puzzle to students of the 1890s why there was so little contact between Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, and what we know is largely derived from Michael Holroyd's biography of Shaw and Dan H. Laurence's collection of Shaw's letters.  With the collaboration of a number of Shaw scholars, we are now introducing this new section, where small contributions especially will be welcome: possibly enough eventually to produce something at greater length.

In this section we shall also try to cover productions of Shaw's pre-1900 plays.

We open with a bibliography, doubtless incomplete.  This is NOT intended to be a Shaw bibliography, only a Wilde/Shaw bibliography.
