Cambridge: Cam- bridge University Press, 2017.

Paper 591 (2016). Illustrates the principle that “an otherwise valid trust will fail if it is not capable of exe- cution” with the case of Shaw’s will.

Comments on how Shaw in Arthur and the Acetone, unlike David Hare, did not silence “the subject of Britain’s colonial past, the empire’s direct involvement in the creation of the Jewish state and hence its role in the emergence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” Beckett, Francis. Fascist in the Family: The Tragedy of John Beckett M.P. New York: Routledge, 2017. John disliked “studied theatricality” like Shaw’s who “suffers agonies in his efforts to retain” his reputation as a wit. Also comments twice on Shaw’s public views on different political issues of his time. Becquet, Alexandra and Claire Davison, eds. Ford Madox Ford’s Cosmopolis: Psycho-geography, Flânerie and the Cultures of Paris. Leiden: Brill, 2016. Several chapters mention that Shaw was one of the authors of whom Ford was an early publisher. Also, we learn in the chapter by Laurence Davies that the third act of Madox’s Mister Bosphorus and the Muses sounds “suspiciously like a play by George Bernard Shaw.” Beers, Laura. Red Ellen: The Life of Ellen Wilkinson, Socialist, Feminist, Inter- nationalist. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2016. Apart from a few references to Shaw’s role in the Fabian Society, it describes how Shaw parodied his friend Susan Lawrence in The Apple Cart. Bergman, Jerry. C. S. Lewis: Anti-Darwinist: A Careful Examination of the Development of His Views on Darwinism. Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2016. Quotes a few of Lewis’s references to Shaw in his discussion of the former’s views on evolution. A similar reference, in passing, to the Shavian-Bergsonian origin of Lewis’s Life-Force philosophy also in Louis Markos, “The Dangers of the Materialist Magician.” In Science Fiction and The Abolition of Man: Finding C. S. Lewis in Sci-Fi Film and Television, ed. Mark J. Boone and Kevin C. Neece, 228–36. Eugene, OR: Pickwick, 2017. Berry, Neil. “Insult to Human Reason.” Times Literary Supplement, 6 January 2017, 16–17.

Bertolini, John A. The Case for Terence Rattigan, Playwright. Cham,
Switzerland: Palgrave, 2016. From the publisher’s website: “This book
asserts the extraordinary quality of mid-twentieth century playwright
Terence Rattigan’s dramatic art and its basis in his use of subtext, impli-
cation, and understatement. . . . Likewise, the book newly examines how
Rattigan draws on sources in Greek and Roman history, literature, and
myth, as well as how he invites comparison with the work of other play-
wrights, especially Bernard Shaw and Shakespeare.” Reviewed in this issue.
Bew, John. “Clement Attlee: The Man Who Made Modern Britain.” Oxford:
Oxford University Press, 2017. Mentions Shaw because of Attlee’s inter-
est in Socialism and because of their differing views about the Great War.
Bigman, Fran. “Babies without Husbands: Unmarried Pregnancy in 1960s
British Fiction.” In Perceptions of Pregnancy from the Seventeenth to the
Twentieth Century, ed. Jennifer Evans and Ciara Meehan, 161–86. Cham,
Switzerland: Palgrave, 2017. Comments on how Rosamund, in Margaret
Drabble’s novel The Millstone, thinks she is “one of those Bernard Shaw
women who wants children but no husband.” Illustrates what the char-
acter may mean with an excerpt from the preface to Getting Married.
Bixby, Patrick. “Becoming ‘James Overman’: Joyce, Nietzsche, and the Uncre-
ated Conscience of the Irish.” Modernism/modernity 24, no. 1 (2017): 45–66.
Mentions Shaw’s attempts at providing “a more evenhanded account of
the philosopher’s thought” in the latter half of the 1890s: through his arti-
cles in the Saturday Review, his review of A Genealogy of Morals, and the
Nietzschean element in Man and Superman.
Boese, Alex. Elephants on Acid: From Zombie Kittens to Tickling Machines: The
Most Outrageous Experiments from the History of Science. Pan M acmillan,
2016[2007]. Quotes Shaw’s reaction to Sergei Brukhonenko’s experiment
of decapitating dogs and attempting to keep the head alive. Shaw sug-
gested having his own head “cut off so that I can continue to dictate plays
and books without being bothered by illness, without having to dress
and undress.”
Borysiewicz, Leszec. “Plagues and Medicine.” In Plagues, ed. Jonathan L.
Heeney and Sven Friedemann, 66–91. Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press, 2017. Mentions Shaw’s anti-vaccination stance (p. 78) as part of a
long tradition that did not end with the nineteenth century.
Bowan, Kate. “Friendship, Cosmopolitan Connections and Late Victorian
Socialist Songbook Culture.” In Cheap Print and Popular Song in the
Nineteenth Century, ed. Paul Watt, Derek B. Scott, and Patrick Spedding,
91–111. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017. Mentions Shaw a368 A C ONT I NU I N G C H E C K L I S T O F S H AV I ANA
few times as “part of a larger social group” that included “Morris, Scheu,
Joynes, Salt, Carpenter”—whose story is told in relation to the pages of
“early socialist songbooks.”
Bowler, Gerry. Christmas in the Crosshairs: Two Thousand Years of Denounc-
ing and Defending the World’s Most Celebrated Holiday. Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2017. Quotes (p. 71) Shaw’s famous words on how he
“greatly disliked Christmas.”
Bracha, Anat and Lise Vesterlund. “Mixed signals: Charity reporting when
donations signal generosity and income.” Games and Economic Behavior
104 (2017): 24–42. Quotes Shaw as saying that “a millionaire does not
really care whether his money does good or not, provided he finds his
conscience eased and his social status improved by giving it away.” Avail-
able at sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899825617300428.
Brown, Ian. History as Theatrical Metaphor: History, Myth and National Iden-
tities in Modern Scottish Drama. London: Palgrave, 2016. Briefly discusses
Shaw’s use of “semi-anachronism,” whereby audiences are kept “imagi-
natively half in the present.”
Brown, Jeffrey M. “Acting in the Politics of Print: A ‘Monster of Illiteracy’ in
the Published Pygmalion.” In Text & Presentation, 2016, ed. Graley Herren,
124–42. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2017. Discusses “the political intersec-
tion between theatrical acting and mass-cultural reading” of the play,
especially in light of the differences between the text that premiered
on stage and the lengthy prose sequel that was added when the play
appeared in print.
Çakirtas, Önder. Politics and Drama: Change, Challenge and Transition in
Bernard Shaw and Orhan Asena. London: Apostolos Publishing, 2016.
Compares the style and sociopolitical discourse in the plays of Shaw
and Asena—who was also a socialist and a transition figure between the
Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey. This book also sheds light
on the playwrights’ respective political and historical backdrops.
Callan, Mike and Amanda Spenn.2 “A Fashionable Judo Girl, Sarah W B
Mayer (née Tapping) (1896–1957).” In Proceedings of the 6th Interna-
tional Science of Judo Symposium, ed. D. Scardone, 50. Rotterdam, The
Netherlands: Erasmus University, 2009. Comments on Mayer’s friend-
ship with Shaw and how she convinced him to make Epifania (The Mil-
lionairess) a judoka instead of a boxer—a role she played in a production
at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne, in January 1940, under her
stage name of Sarah Tapping.
Cameron, Rebecca. “‘A Somber Passion Strengthens Her Voice’: The Stage
as Public Platform in British Women’s Suffrage Drama.” ComparativeA C ONT I NU I N G C H E C K L I S T O F S H AV I ANA 369 Drama 50, no. 4 (2016): 293–316. One of the two references to Shaw quotes his review of Pinero’s The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith, where he argues that the dramatist “falls into the common error of supposing that the woman who speaks in public and takes an interest in wider concerns than those of her own household is a special variety of the human species.” Cammack, Susanne S. “Political gramophonic gendering in G.B. Shaw’s Pyg- malion.” Australasian Journal of Irish Studies 16 (2016): 78–92. Argues that just as Eliza “becomes immediately equated with the gramophone” in Higgins’s study, Eliza’s story “mirrors Ireland’s during the Third Home Rule Bill debates.” Ultimately, the gramophone in the play “emerges as a reverberation of the Home Rule debates in the context of the gendered union relationship between England and Ireland.” Carson, Niall. Rebel by vocation: Seán O’Faoláin and the generation of The Bell. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2016. Describes how the fact that the British government would not let Shaw “export money to Eire without an investigation of [his] purposes” made it impossible for him to subscribe to The Bell and, as a tangential consequence, O’Faoláin used Shaw’s reputation to promote The Bell. ———. “Transnationalism, Ireland, and The Bell.” Éire-Ireland 51, nos. 1–2 (2016): 171–91. Although the only reference to Shaw has to do with the “celebrated defense” of The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God by the recently founded Irish Academy of Letters, the context of the article may be of interest to Shaw scholars. Caselli, Daniela. “Dante’s Pilgrimage in Dorothy Richardson.” Comparative Literature 69, no. 1 (2017): 91–101. Touches on the “sole occasion [G.]B.S. acknowledged himself mistaken”—when he confessed himself con- vinced by Philip H. Wicksteed’s critique of Marx. Chiari, Sophie. As You Like It : Shakespeare’s Comedy of Liberty. Paris: Presses Universitaires de France–Cned, 2016. The introduction contradicts Shaw’s view that the play’s title is “a snub of the audience’s taste.” Cockin, Katharine. Edith Craig and the Theatres of Art. London: Bloomsbury, 2017. Numerous references to Shaw, especially to Craig’s involvement with the production of some of his plays and to their interest (also Char- lotte’s) in the women’s suffrage movement. Includes excerpts from two postcards hitherto unpublished. Reviewed by Liz Schafer in Times Higher Education at timeshighereducation.com/books/review-edith-craig-and- theatres-art-katharine-cockin-bloomsbury.

Many references to Shaw: his political views, his opinions on Zionism, his acquaintance with Einstein, etc. An interesting anecdote is Shaw’s telling Archibald Henderson (p. 24) that “the most convincing proof I can adduce of my admiration for [Einstein] is that his is the only one of these portraits [at Shaw’s] that I paid for.” Reviewed at nature.com/nature/journal/v538/ n7624/full/538170a.html.
