First, it calls for greater attention to Bernard Shaw as an interwar writer by focusing on the politics of his play *Saint Joan* (1923). Though this play is often seen as a paean to visionary leadership within Shaw’s attempt to rescue Jeanne d’Arc from both historical calumny and religious idealization, I argue instead for the play’s contribution to debates about the legacy of the Great War and the fledgling League of Nations. Thus, the second intervention of this essay is its discussion of collective security and antiwar internationalism as vital elements of the British peace movement. Examined as a play about war prevention through international collaboration, *Saint Joan* becomes a text for expanding both our appreciation for Shaw as an interwar writer and for peace studies approaches to the space between.

(Please replace the -at-with @.) DEADLINE: May 1st of each year The dramatists of Yeats's generation turned nationalist theatre into a quasi-religion. They believed that a priest-like artist could arouse the dormant modes of transcendence diminished by years of colonial oppression. The theatre became something of a worship space with the Abbey as its high temple.

The cataclysm of the First World War gave rise to the British Peace Movement, a spectrum of pacifist, internationalist, and antiwar organizations and individuals. Antiwar sentiments found expression not only in editorials, criticism, and journalism but also in novels and other works of literature. Writing against War examines the work of Aldous Huxley, Storm Jameson, Siegfried Sassoon, Rose Macaulay, and Virginia Woolf to analyze the effects of their attempts to employ fiction in the service of peace activism. It further traces how Huxley, Woolf, and others sought to reconcile their antiwar beliefs with implacable military violence.
The British Peace Movement's failure to halt the rise of fascism and the Second World War continues to cast a shadow over contemporary pacifist movements. Writing about War will fascinate scholars of peace studies and literature and offers valuable insights for current-day peace activists and artists who seek to integrate creativity with activism.
