Request for Manuscripts: Future SHAW Volumes

The editorial board of SHAW: The Annual of Bernard Shaw Studies seeks article-length manuscripts for upcoming volumes.

SHAW 31 and SHAW 33 will be general volumes open to articles on any subject related to the life, times, and works of Bernard Shaw. Inquiries and manuscript submissions should be sent to Michel W. Pharand at michelpharand@yahoo.com or mailed to 29 Bishop Street, Kingston, Ontario K7M 3P5, Canada.

SHAW 32 will be a theme issue devoted to “Shaw and the City,” with Desmond Harding as guest editor. SHAW 32 will provide a picture of Shaw’s engagement as dramatist, critic, and cultural commentator with the metropolis as a site of convergent artistic traditions and histories, as well as emerging cultural, political, and social boundaries. The editor welcomes contributions from a variety of perspectives that speak to Shaw’s diverse representations of urban modernity. Inquiries and manuscript submissions should be sent to him at hardi1d@cmich.edu or mailed to Dr. Desmond Harding, Department of English Language and Literature, Central Michigan University, Anspach 224, Mount Pleasant, MI 48859.

SHAW submissions may be sent as email attachments (in Microsoft Word) or in hardcopy (3 copies with, if possible, an additional copy on disk). Be sure to indicate the format and program used on the disk copy, and include postage for return of materials (if desired). Please refer to recent SHAW volumes for guidelines from the Chicago Manual of Style.
