The Psychological Secret as to why Man Cannot See Truth Live
Joan of Arc’s burning at the stake in 1431 is depicted in the last scene of Shaw’s Saint Joan. But the Epilogue, which is a fantasy or a dream sequence, completes her life- story by showing her rehabilitation in 1456 and her canonization in 1920. Having been admitted successfully to the ranks of...
