- Shaw was responsible, with Cornelis Van der Haven, for devising, assembling, and editing this substantial special issue (pp. 483-613) of the international quarterly Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies. This included writing an original 10,000-word article (# 6 pp. 559-78), and co-writing (with the co-editor, Cornels van der Haven) a 3,400-word introduction (# 1 pp. 483-88), providing a rationale for the historical focus of the issue, an overview of its core conceptual and critical framework, and an account of how each of the articles advances knowledge and understanding in this emerging research area. The special issue stems from papers presented at three workshops facilitated by the AHRC Research Network 'Passions of War: Cross-disciplinary Perspectives on Gender, Sexuality and Conflict, 1550-1945' (AH/M008495/1; 05/04/2015 - 04/07/2017), for which Shaw was the Principal Investigator. The issue presents the work of established and emerging scholars from Britain, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Australia and North America. This international, cross-disciplinary emphasis is reflected also in the content of the articles, which focus on the representation of gender, sexuality and warfare in historical documents, literary works and visual materials produced in England, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Along with the project's Co-investigator, Cornelis Van Der Haven, Shaw developed the historical, conceptual and critical framework for the workshops, and chose the participants invited and then selected for inclusion in the special issue. Shaw and Van Der Haven took joint responsibility for all the editorial work.
