BOOK DESCRIPTION

“Joan of Arc, a village girl from the Vosges, was born about 1412—burnt for heresy, witchcraft, and sorcery in 1431—rehabilitated after a fashion in 1456—designated Venerable in 1904—declared Blessed in 1908—and finally canonized in 1920. She is the most notable Warrior-Saint in the Christian calendar, and the queerest fish among the eccentric worthies of the Middle Ages.”—George Bernard Shaw

With Saint Joan, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc but unhappy with “the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition,” he presents a realistic Joan at war not just with British invaders but with realpolitik. This is a masterpiece of the theater of ideas, presented in the most eloquent, vital, human, and moving terms. Blackstone commissioned this production from the award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear.

What Happened to Bala Hatun?

Published

on



What happened to the wives of the first Ottoman sultans, Osman and Orhan, as two endowment deeds from the 1320s record them.

The oldest dated Ottoman endowment deed, from 1323, was made by Asporca, a wife of Orhan, and the chronicles never mention her. A deed from 1324 names Mal Hatun, daughter of Omer Bey, and the historian Feridun Emecen traces the television name Bala Hatun to a copyist’s slip in writing Mal. The file also follows Nilufer, mother of Murad I, and the Byzantine princess Theodora, who married Orhan in 1346.

Should the stories keep the names millions have seen on screen, or should the two deeds have the last word? Tell us in the comments.
