Concluding Thoughts on Joan in the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries. ?. 330 $aThis book examines the figure of Joan of Arc as depicted in stage works of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially those based on or related to Schiller?s 1801 romantic tragedy, Die Jungfrau von Orleans (The Maid of Orleans). The author elucidates Schiller?s appropriation of themes from Euripides?s Iphigenia plays, chiefly the quality of ?sublime sanctity,? which transforms Joan?s image from a victim of fate to a warrior-prophet who changes history through sheer force of will. Finding the best-known works of his time about her ? Voltaire?s La pucelle d?Orléans and Shakespeare?s Henry VI, part I ? utterly dissatisfying, Schiller set out to replace them. Die Jungfrau von Orleans was a smashing success and inspired various subsequent treatments, including Verdi?s opera Giovanna d?Arco and a translation by the father of Russian Romanticism, Vasily Zhukovsky, on which Tchaikovsky based his opera Orleanskaya deva (The Maid of Orleans). In turn, the book?s final chapter examines Shaw?sSaint Joan and finds that the Irish playwright?s vociferous complaints about Schiller?s ?romantic flapdoodle? belie a surprising affinity for Schiller?s approach. 410 0$aBernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,$x2634-5811 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aDrama 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aDrama$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/839000 606 $aEuropean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aDrama. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aDrama. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a809.93351 676 $a809.29351 700 $aPendergast$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484087603321 996 $aJoan of Arc on the Stage and Her Sisters in Sublime Sanctity$92847656 997 $aUNINA
