Sobre este artículo
London: Constable and Co, 1924. 1st. hardback. Very Good, 1st edition, missing d/j, uniform with Shaw's Collected works series. Green clothbound boards (a little bumped), gilt spine titling clear; text block generally firm, untrimmed pages unmarked but endpapers tanned. Very slight forward lean. Provenance: Sir Henry Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher, 6th Bt. (1887-1969) - soldier, detective novelist and Lord Lieut. of Buckinghamshire (no indication in copy but grouped with various editions that do). 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Standard Edition of Complete Works: 1st edition (1924) of one of Shaw's most unusual and enduringly popular plays. With SAINT JOAN, he reached the height of his fame and Joan is one of his finest creations; forceful, vital, and rebelling against the values that surround her. The play distils Shaw's views on the subjects of politics, religion and creative evolution.
Sinopsis
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.
