Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes, Paperback

Descriere

With Saint Joan, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc (canonized in 1920), but unhappy with ""the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition,"" he presents a realistic Joan: proud, intolerant, naive, foolhardy, always brave-a rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day.
