  1. saint joan

    Saint Joan, commonly referred to as Joan of Arc, was a national heroine and Catholic saint of France. Born around 1412, she is renowned for leading the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War, under what she claimed were divine instructions. She was captured by the English, tried for witchcraft and heresy, and subsequently executed by burning at the stake when she was about 19 years old. She was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint in 1920. Saint Joan can also refer to a play by George Bernard Shaw which dramatizes her life.

  1. Saint Joan

    Saint Joan is a play by George Bernard Shaw, based on the life and trial of Joan of Arc. Published not long after the canonization of Joan of Arc by the Roman Catholic Church, the play dramatises what is known of her life based on the substantial records of her trial. Shaw studied the transcripts and decided that the concerned people acted in good faith according to their beliefs. He wrote in his preface to the play: There are no villains in the piece. Crime, like disease, is not interesting: it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all [there is] about it. It is what men do at their best, with good intentions, and what normal men and women find that they must and will do in spite of their intentions, that really concern us. Michael Holroyd has characterised the play as "a tragedy without villains" and also as Shaw's "only tragedy". John Fielden has discussed further the appropriateness of characterising Saint Joan as a tragedy.
