Anatole France, the Nobel prize winning French author, turns to a
historical subject for this two-volume Life of Joan of Arc.
Thoroughly researched with a wealth of references, he sought to
bring a rationalist viewpoint to the legendary French heroine and
to examine and, where necessary, overturn the superstitious
additions to her history. He also hoped to counteract the Church's
interpretation of her life, as that institution was, in 1908, well
on the way to declaring her a saint. The two original volumes of
the Winifred Stephens translation are published together as one for
the reader's convenience, and come complete with the black and
white illustrations. Volume I covers Joan's early life and visions,
and her military career up to the coronation of King Charles at
Reims. Volume II deals with Joan's later military campaigns, her
capture, trial and execution and the events that followed her
death.
