Description
George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan offers a fresh perspective on the life of fifteenth-century heroine Joan of Arc. Written in 1923, this play presents a more accurate account of her story, one that avoids demonising her persecutors and instead seeks to understand the complexities of her time.
Shaw's frank approach was initially met with controversy, but it has since been recognised as one of his finest works. This edition features an introduction by Simon Mundy and extensive explanatory notes, providing context for readers new to the play or familiar with Shaw's work.
