SHAW 26 will be guest-edited by Heidi Holder and MaryAnn Crawford and will have as its theme "Postmodern Shaw." The volume will include essays exploring the possible connections between Shaw and postmodern literature, performance, and theory. Possible areas of interest include intertextuality in Shaw works, postmodern elements in the production of plays, the history of Shaw criticism, treatment of ideas of nationalism and colonialism, use of language, approaches to literary/theatrical/political traditions, concepts of periodicity, and the handling of historical subjects, among others. Contributors to SHAW 26 should submit three copies of manuscripts and one copy on disk by April 1, 2005, to MaryAnn K.

For all SHAW manuscripts, contributors should follow the MLA Style Sheet and review recent SHAW volumes for format, indicate the format and program used on the disk copy, and include postage for return of material.

References to Shaw's plays and prefaces should be made to The Bodley Head Bernard Shaw Collected Plays with their Prefaces, published under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. The text of the Penguin paperbacks conforms to this definitive edition.
