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, naive, foolhardy, always bravea rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day.

I have to say it's a little bit too wordy without many classical poetic rhythm. But Shaw indeed develops the characters very well. Everyone believes what him or her believe and it confront with other's beliefs. I still wonder why it win the Nobel though.
評分Awestruck by Joan and by Shaw!
