Saint Joan
The life of fifteenth-century heroine Joan of Arc is the stuff of legend, and her cruel death (burnt at the stake aged just nineteen) led to her being declared a martyr, granting her an extraordinary legacy.Following her canonisation in 1920, and against a history of overly romanticised retellings of the story, Bernard Shaw put pen to paper to give a more accurate account, without resorting to demonising her persecutors; as he writes in his preface, 'there are no villains in the piece'.It was an immediate success, securing him the Nobel Prize for Literature, although critics were initially divided by this frank approach - T.S. Eliot was outraged, saying, 'instead of the saint or the strumpet of the legends... he has turned her into a great middle-class reformer.' Nonetheless - or perhaps even because of this controversy - Saint Joan is considered one of Shaw's finest and most important plays.This edition has an introduction by Simon Mundy, who has spent several years as Vice-President of PEN International's Writers for Peace Committee, and extensive explanatory notes.'He was a Tolstoy with jokes, a modern Dr Johnson, a universal genius who on his own modest reckoning put even Shakespeare in the shade.' - The Independent

Working-Class Women in Irish Literature and Theatre
Working-Class Women in Irish Literature and Theatre critically engages with works of theatre both by and about working-class women, historically and presently. Addressing professional and community theatre productions, from both textual and performative perspectives, this volume focuses on works of theatre by practitioners, directors, playwrights, and performance artists across rural and urban contexts. Irish theatre has a long history of signifying social class. Yet the representations of working-class women in Irish theatrical history also encompass several problematic issues, starting with the fact that these depictions were created by male writers like J. M Synge and Se獺n O'Casey to name but a few. Nonetheless, the theatre's emphasis on embodied performance and its ability to reach its public in an unmediated way has attracted working-class engagement perhaps more than other art forms in Ireland. Contemporary playwrights in the Republic and the north of Ireland have tirelessly striven to illuminate working-class women's lived experiences and have reframed the characterisation of working-class women by drawing out the intersection of social class with sexualities, ethnic minorities, and racial identities. This edited collection also includes the voices of directors, playwrights, and performers who identify with a working-class social background, offering first-hand accounts of their lived experience in the theatre industry.
