Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc, but unhappy with the way she had traditionally been depicted, Shaw wanted to remove "the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition." He presents a realistic Joan: proud, intolerant, na ve, foolhardy, and brave--a rebel and a woman for Shaw's time and our own. This is the definitive text under the editorial supervision of Dan H.
