Synopsis

One of Shaw's most unusual and enduringly popular plays. With SAINT JOAN (1923) Shaw reached the height of his fame and Joan is one of his finest creations; forceful, vital, and rebelling against the values that surround her. The play distils Shaw's views on the subjects of politics, religion and creative evolution.

Reviews

On Oct 16 2010, ElectricEel said:
As usual, Shaw works very hard at shocking the reader/viewer. He claims that the first trial, at which Joan was convicted, was more than fair, while the postumous trial, at which she was rehabilitated, was a kangaroo court. But maybe he's right. He also makes it clear that we're all willing to defend Joan now that she's been dead a few hundred years, but that if she were to reappear, we modern liberals would be the first to join the lynch mob.

Our main interest has always been in buying and selling selected second-hand and antiquarian books, both through a traditional bookshop and on-line world-wide. We moved our business to West Wales over 12 years ago and have been trading in Llandeilo now for 9 years. We have been selling on-line since 1999. We recently closed the retail aspect of our business in order to concentrated on mail order, local ordering and delivery service, catalogues and on-line sales. We hold a selected second-hand stock of over 7,000 ever-changing titles, including: ART - BIOGRAPHY - CHILDRENS COLLECTABLES - POETRY - MUSIC - WELSH TOPOGRAPHY - LITERARY FICTION - HISTORY - ESOTERIC - PHILOSOPHY - MILITARY - CLASSICS - MODERN FIRSTS - ANTIQUARIAN - THEOLOGY - CHESS ... & much more We also hold smaller stock of selected new books, mainly Welsh interest titles and local history. Many of our new books are generously discounted, and these include Esoterica, Biography and Philosophy. MAIL ORDER AND INTERNET BUSINESS ONLY. LOCAL DELIVERY AND COLLECTION SERVICE. As an independent bookseller in a small rural town, we pride ourselves on the quality of service and selected stock we have to offer. With years of experience in the book trade, we leave no stone unturned! Our customers enjoy a friendly, personal service. We know our business and our stock is carefully selected. We are here most days to advise and answer any questions, process and place orders, make recommendations and replenish our inventory etc. We have accounts with all the major UK mainstream book distributors, including some of the more obscure publishers as well.
