The mysterious tale of a great leader, martyred for her cause, and often regarded as a woman beyond her time. Patron saint, visionary, defender of a nation, political symbol, feminist icon, martyr Joan of Arc is all these things and more. A saviour of France who would be burned at the stake, her gripping story has inspired countless works of literature, art and music.
And yet myths will forever shroud the reality, and the true nature of the motivations and visions of this extraordinary nineteen-year-old will never be completely known. With a new introduction, this fascinating classic review of Jeanne d'Arc's life, the pious girl from Domremy, presents an accessible biography, thoroughly grounded in original sources and truly engaging.
