About

"Saint Joan: A chronicle play in six scenes and an epilogue" by Bernard Shaw is a play written in 1923. It dramatizes the story of Joan of Arc, the 15th-century French peasant who claimed divine visions guided her to lead military campaigns. The play follows her rise from village girl to military leader, culminating in her trial for heresy. Shaw portrays all participants—including Joan's accusers—as people acting according to their convictions. Written after Joan's canonization, the work explores themes of faith, authority, and the conflict between individual conscience and institutional power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
