Irish satirist's greatest achievement. Joan, as Shaw conceives her, loses the glamor of supernatural inspira- tion and guidance, but gains a great- er significance through her very hu- manity. She is just a girl, who has caught a new vision of national so- lidarity—what the peace conference ‘ater dubbed “‘self-determination” — and who by her shrewd knowledge cf character and the force of her own personality manages to infuse into others some hint of that vision. But more than this, she comes, to embody in Shaw's mind the eternal spirit of rebellion and pr ss, and her tragedy {s the inevitalile tragedy of vision™throttled by tradition and timidity, of genius maligned and murdered and forever misunderstood.
