Henry VI Part 1
Left handed
Joan of Arc, under the name Joan la Pucelle, is a character in Shakespeare's play Henry VI Part I. She is portrayed as sneaky and lacking in honour, which enables her to succeed against the honourable English. In the end her demonic familiars fail her and she is captured. She defends herself from the death sentence by claiming first that she is a virgin and second that she is pregnant. Bear in mind that at the time Shakespeare was writing, Joan was not considered a heroine or a saint by the English. She was considered to be a witch.
George Bernard Shaw's classic play about Joan of Arc was first performed in 1923 in New York and is considered one of his greatest achievements. Due in large part to the theatrical success of Saint Joan, Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925.
There are so many books, articles, poems, ballads, plays, movies, etc. written about Joan of Arc that that are titled "Joan of Arc" that it is impossible to identify just one author unless the person posing the question can provide more criteria to narrow it down: a publication year, a publisher, language it was published in, editor, magazine it appeared in, actors/actresses who acted in the production (if it is a play or movie), etc.
