A Bulletin for George Bernard Shaw
‘Oh, Shaw! That's the man who smokes Jaeger cigarettes!’ – Oscar Wilde, quoted by Richard Le Gallienne: The Romantic Nineties. New edition. London: Putnam & Co. 1951 p.81.
Welcome to the Home Page of Shavings. The first four Shavings appeared as sections within THE OSCHOLARS. After the first Niagara meeting which saw the beginnings of the International Shaw Society, it became one of THE OSCHOLARS supplementary pages until our enforced suspension in November 2003. With the new series of THE OSCHOLARS which began in October 2006, Shavings further emancipated itself and became one of the Irish Literary Bulletins hosted by www.irishdiaspora.net, the site for Irish and other diaspora studies owned by Patrick O’Sullivan, creator of Irish Diaspora Net. The creation of www.oscholars.com in February 2007 as the home site for our family of journals enabled us to construct this subsite for Shavings and this has allowed us to continue to develop. A further major reconstruction began in June 2008 and was completed early in 2009. We cannot yet see where this will take us but the main thrust of Shavings will continue as before to explore the world of Shaw during the lifetime of Wilde, although clearly we will not turn our backs on such later Shaw material as presents itself. Contributions and ideas from readers will be welcome. That said, we are here only to complement the excellent work done on Shaw elsewhere, notably by the Shaw associations and their publications, and these will be given their due measure in our columns. In this we are helped by our Associate Editor for Shavings, Barbara Pfeifer of the University of Vienna.
On this page are the links to the various issues of Shavings.

As we develop the site, we will also increase the material to be found in the Appendices.
