SHAW BERNARD

Saint Joan : a chronicle play in six scenes and an epilogue

London, Constable and Company Ltd. 1924, 1st Edition. Hardcover, 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Book, green cloth, gilt spine, lxiv, 114 pages (2) advertisement, First UK Edition,This classic traces the life of Joan of Arc from the time she appears to her regional governor, her visit to the Dauphin (where she is undeceived by his disguise) to the siege of Orleans, coronation at Rheims, trial and recantation, and culminating with her death at the stake. Followed by the famous epilogue regarding her canonization, Shaw explores the themes of faith, nationalism and Protestantism. Called variously "the greatest play in English since Shakespeare" and "beautiful, engrossing, and at times exalting", Shaw's masterpiece remains as vivid and timely to modern audiences as it was scandalous and incendiary in its premiere in 1923. DHL/Shaw bibliography, no. A170a. Very Good/No Dust Jacket.
