I. Works by Shaw

Shaw, Bernard. "Ayot St Lawrence 17th October 1950: Notes Made by Judy Musters after Her Last Visit to Shaw." The Independent Shavian 41:1 (2003): 8-9. Musters, herself 53, a cousin of Shaw, had served for a time as Shaw's secretary. Shaw was home from the hospital and would die about two weeks later on 1 November. Musters engages Shaw with humorous and poignant effect. These notes from the Burgunder Collection are first printed here.
