More about the book

The play presents a nuanced portrayal of Joan of Arc, depicting her journey from a peasant girl with divine visions to a military leader facing betrayal and execution. Shaw's depiction highlights Joan's complexity—her bravery and faith juxtaposed with her naivety and intolerance. As she grapples with her lack of acceptance by the monarchy despite her victories, the play explores themes of faith, individuality, and societal misunderstanding. "Saint Joan" remains a significant work, celebrated for its realistic and humanizing approach to a historically complex figure.
