This is our second collection of Shavings, where Wilde/Shaw links will be discussed. In this section we shall also try to cover productions of Shaw's pre-1900 plays, and news of productions of these (with offers of review) will be most welcome.

Tony Gibbs (Macquarie University, New South Wales) writes

I am currently working on the second part of a Bernard Shaw biography project, a book called Bernard Shaw: A Life. The first part, a 450 page reference work called A Bernard Shaw Chronology, was published by Palgrave/Macmillan last year. I briefly discuss Oscar Wilde's and Shaw's ideas about biography in the introduction to the Chronology. I am very interested in their association, and the ways in which they defined their Irishness in relation to self.
