SHAW 44.2 (to be published in December 2024) and SHAW 45.2 (to be published in December 2025) will include articles on general topics, as well as book reviews, the Checklist of Shaviana, Notices, and ISS information.CFP for SHAW 45.1 (June 2025): “Shaw and the New Modernist Studies.” In the now well-established terrain of the “new modernist studies,” we have become accustomed to revisionist and expansionist projects that open the field both theoretically and empirically to challenge earlier assumptions regarding the teleology of Modernism’s inner integrity, established practitioners, aesthetic practices, period boundaries, and principal geographical and social locations. Moreover, the study of modernism’s multiple and shifting locations beyond a traditional European-American axis is part of an ongoing process of revisionism that takes its cue from an analysis of the uneven experience of modernity viewed in both globalizing and transnational terms. The aim of SHAW 45.1 (June 2025) is to take the measure of Shaw’s place in relation to contested notions of literary modernism as the substantial expansion of its temporal and geographical scope reforms our understanding of the limits and limitations of Modernism, including its very meaning. Dismissed at times by peers and critics alike as a belated Victorian whose “drama of ideas” lingers on the borders of formal experimentation and style, a more nuanced account of Shaw’s voluminous writings—the plays, novels, prefaces, postscripts, proposals, reviews, pamphlets, broadsides, tracts, editorials, treatises, manifestoes, reports, and letters (private and public)—confirm his multifaceted importance as a modernist author whose work constitutes a series of unfolding relations with society and culture in both national and transnational settings. Inquiries and manuscript submissions are welcomed and should be sent to guest editor Dr. Desmond Harding at either hardi1d@cmich.edu or Department of English Language and Literature, Central Michigan University, Anspach 301F, Mount Pleasant, MI 48859.All prospective essays for SHAW should be submitted directly to http://www.psupress.org/journals/jnls_shaw.html.
