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. |
