Editing George Bernard Shaw (section)

===Miscellaneous and autobiographical===
Through his journalism, pamphlets and occasional longer works, Shaw wrote on many subjects. His range of interest and enquiry included [[vivisection]], vegetarianism, religion, language, cinema and photography,{{refn|Shaw was an enthusiastic amateur photographer from 1898 until his death, amassing about 10,000 prints and more than 10,000 negatives documenting his friends, travels, politics, plays, films and home life. The collection is archived at the London School of Economics; an exhibition of his photography, "Man & Cameraman", opened in 2011 at the [[Lacock Abbey|Fox Talbot Museum]] in conjunction with an online exhibition presented by the LSE.{{sfn|Kennedy, ''The Guardian'', 5 July 2011}}|group=n}} on all of which he wrote and spoke copiously. Collections of his writings on these and other subjects were published, mainly after his death, together with volumes of "wit and wisdom" and general journalism.{{sfn|Pharand: Shaw chronology 2015}}

Despite the many books written about him (Holroyd counts 80 by 1939){{sfn|Holroyd|1993|p=367}} Shaw's autobiographical output, apart from his diaries, was relatively slight. He gave interviews to newspapers—"GBS Confesses", to ''[[The Daily Mail]]'' in 1904 is an example{{sfn|Hugo|1999|pp=22–23}}—and provided sketches to would-be biographers whose work was rejected by Shaw and never published.{{sfn|Leary|1971|pp=3–11}} In 1939 Shaw drew on these materials to produce ''Shaw Gives Himself Away'', a miscellany which, a year before his death, he revised and republished as ''Sixteen Self Sketches'' (there were seventeen). He made it clear to his publishers that this slim book was in no sense a full autobiography.{{sfn|Holroyd|1993|p=495}}
