Sinopsis
One of Shaw's most unusual and enduringly popular plays. With SAINT JOAN (1923) Shaw 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.
Reseñas
El Oct 16 2010, ElectricEel dijo:
As usual, Shaw works very hard at shocking the reader/viewer. He claims that the first trial, at which Joan was convicted, was more than fair, while the postumous trial, at which she was rehabilitated, was a kangaroo court. But maybe he's right. He also makes it clear that we're all willing to defend Joan now that she's been dead a few hundred years, but that if she were to reappear, we modern liberals would be the first to join the lynch mob.

Sobre Lower Beverley Better Books
An online bookstore that just grew from a combination of a love of books, a desire to save them from landfill and an inability to bypass yard sales. A considerable percentage of my inventory is signed editions. I also take pride in my Canadiana catalogue.
