From the publisher: SHAW 18 offers fourteen articles that illuminate aspects of Shaw's family history, relations with contemporaries, evolving reputation, and dramatic works. Dan H. Laurence presents an authoritative genealogy of the Shaw and Gurly sides of Shaw's family. Among discoveries that have long eluded Shaw's biographers is the birthdate of Elinor Agnes "Yuppy" Shaw, Shaw's sister. Michael W. Pharand assesses Shaw's intense dislike of Sarah Bernhardt. Stanley Weintraub analyzes Shaw's presence in the plays of Eugene O'Neill. Shaw's Advice to Irishmen, a newspaper account of Shaw's 1918 Dublin lecture "Literature in Ireland," records Shaw's comments on George Moore, J. M. Synge, and James Joyce. Robert G. Everding surveys Shaw festivals from 1916 in Ireland to the present-day Shaw festivals in Ontario and Milwaukee. In a review of Frank Harris on Bernard Shaw (1931), Richard Aldington dismisses Shaw as human being, thinker, and dramatist: "You must be a Shavian to admire and love Shaw the artist." In an interview with Leon Hugo, biographer Michael Holroyd discusses his biography of G.B.S., responses to his biography, and future work involving G.B.S. Jeffrey M. Wallmann argues that alienation in Shaw's plays enhances their contemporary value. Bernard F. Dukore investigates Shaw's reasons for discarding the original final act of The Philanderer. Rodelle Weintraub argues persuasively that You Never Can Tell requires the audience to choose between "Crampton's reality" and "Crampton's dream." Mark H. Sterner, weighing the various charges against Ann Whitefield's character in Man and Superman, concludes that Shaw's treatment of her and Tanner "as significantly different, but nevertheless equal . . . in itself was a revolutionary change in the status of sexual power relationships." Julie A. Sparks identifies W. W. Henley's sonnet "'Liza" as a likely source not only for some of Eliza's traits in Pygmalion but also for images in Man and Superman and Major Barbara. Charles A. Carpenter considers Buoyant Billions and Farfetched Fables in the context of Shaw's response to the birth of the atomic age. Paul Bauschatz, evaluating the differences between My Fair Lady and Pygmalion, illustrates why the film can reflect Shaw's play "only uneasily." SHAW 18 includes five reviews of recent additions to Shavian scholarship as well as John R. Pfeiffer's "Continuing Checklist of Shaviana.". First Edition. Hardcover.

(From the dust jacket) Whole cities can exist for centuries and never have a citizen who cares as much as Roger Conger has cared for Waco, the Texas city where he grew up and spent most of his long adult life. The trait that distinguishes his work as a writer, however, is not only his affection for his hometown, but the quality of his relationships with his subjects and his fellow Wacoans. He writes as a businessman and a gentleman whose conduct is marked by respect for others and his own self-respect. And, he is indigenous. He is down-to-earth, bur never bawdy; there is always a safety net of discretion beneath the surface of his writings. At the same time, you find not a word that is self-righteous, arrogant, or overblown for in his writings you find the authentic Roger Conger. His style is easy, entertaining, and gripping while hewing to the line of accuracy. He is a master of the factual storyteller's art. This volume of writings by Texas' best-loved lay historian is published to note the fiftieth year since he first published?but Roger is not a writer only, far from it. A retired manufacturing executive, his service to his city has long touched the lives of all who visit or live in Waco. Read about his seminal role in establishment of Waco Lions Park: his steadfast and surpassingly effective role as a collector of Wacoana made available to the public through the Waco Public Library and the Texas Collection at Baylor University; his genuine willingness to effectively chair a hundred committees, commissions, and other organizations during his lifetime (he was mayor of Waco in 1964-65); his pivotal role in the establishment and growth of Fort Fisher, the world's best display of Texas Ranger memorabilia. He is indisputably the primary force that created public understanding of the historical value of the Waco Suspension Bridge. This single-span passage over the Brazos River was built in 1868-69 to carry all kinds of livestock, horse-drawn vehicles, and pedestrians. Today it is open only to pedestrians. In its landscaped setting, the grand old bridge is a favored outdoor spot for dances, weddings, festivals, and especially is it a favorite haunt of strollers enjoying the city's town lake. Both Fort Fisher and the Suspension Bridge are property of the City of Waco. You will find letters in this new book which cement Roger Conger's early role in saving Earle-Harrison and Earle-Napier-Kinnard houses from demolition, and his leadership in acquisition and restoration of East Terrace, and much, much more. MARION TRAVIS, Conger's editor and bibliographer, has a long track record of support of Waco as a writer, editor and publicist. For almost 10 years, from 1963 until 1972, in her job as a staff writer for the Waco Tribune Herald she was solely responsible for communicating and promoting the history activity of Waco.
