Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan, Major Barbara, Androcles And The Lion (Modern Library, 294.1)
Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan Major Barbara Androcles And The Lion - Modern Library, 294.1 Author:George Bernard Shaw 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.
