Cover of George Bernard Shaw: Saint Joan (ePUB)

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, naïve, foolhardy, always brave – a rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day.
