- Last week I forgot to mention that John A. Bertolini had already discussed the Shaw reference in Morning Glory in his introduction to Pygmalion and Three Other Plays (2004). Actually, almost twenty years before that, Bernard F. Dukore had already commented on this connection in "GBS, MGM, RKO: Shaw in Hollywood" (SHAW 5, 1985, pp. 273-4). In my defense, I have to say I was seven years old when Bernie wrote that essay.
- Look at all the things Shaw and Eugene O'Neill had in common.
- Wait, what?
- Hamlet and Saint Joan sound like a perfect combination. Reviews available HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Arms and the Man in Portland, ME (teaser).
- Bernard Shaw and political hero worship.
- The fate of Shaw's birthplace. Your own suggestions are welcome HERE (scroll to the bottom for online survey form)
- Something I've always wanted to share with you... Bernard Shaw places of the world:
- In Dunfermline, Scotland.
- In three different towns in South Africa: Vanderbijlpark, Roodepoor, and Durban South
- In Dresden, Germany.
- In two different cities in Ukraine: Kryvyi Rih and Horlivka.
- In London.
- And don't forget the Bernard Shaw House, also in London.
- Or in Houghton le Spring, also in the UK.
- In Dubrovnik, Croatia.
- Two streets in Chile, one in Maipú and one in Temuco.
- Also in Moreno, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- Contry la Silla, near Monterrey, Mexico, although in Mexico City the name of the street is Hispanized to Jorge Bernard Shaw.
I'm sure I've missed a few because of peculiarities in the translation and/or transliteration of names into different languages (especially those outside the Latin alphabet). Please send any you may know of so that I can include them all in GeoShaw.
