SHAW BIBLIOGRAPHIES

The most complete listing of Shaw’s works is to be found in the two volumes by Dan H. Laurence entitled Bernard Shaw: A Bibliography, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1983, included in The Soho Bibliographies, XXII (out of print but available in many libraries). Also available in many libraries and online (through the use of “Project Muse”) is “A Supplement to Bernard Shaw: A Bibliography,” which appears in SHAW 20: The Annual of Bernard Shaw Studies – “Bibliographical Shaw” (2000). That volume is a gold mine of information.

The principal Shaw bibliographies to be found in libraries that are mostly on writings about Shaw are the three-volume G. B. Shaw Annotated Secondary Bibliography Series published by Northern Illinois University Press, and the annual bibliographies published in the annual journal SHAW and in Modern Drama. Online bookstores, such as amazon.com and bn.com, provide listings of Shaw books available for purchase and will conduct searches for hard-to-find books. For an online listing of works important to Shaw Studies, as well as a chronology, see C. A. Carpenter’s http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ccarpen/shaw.htm, which provides “A Descriptive Chronology of His Plays, Theatrical Career, and Dramatic Theories." Carpenter's invaluable A Selective, Classified International Bibliography of Publications About Bernard Shaw: Works from 1940 to Date, with Appendix of Earlier Works is to found both at http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ccarpen/ShawBibliography and at http://chuma.cas.usf.edu/~dietrich/Carpenter-Shaw-Bibliography-TOC.htm. Eventually all of John Pfeiffer's "Checklists" from issues of SHAW: The Annual prior to 2000 will be available for viewing by clicking on the desired issue listed below, but some are ready now. For "Checklists" and other matter from SHAW from 2000 on, click on "Journals" in the ISS Members’ Page.
