La Pucelle d'Orléans, a satirical epic poem by Voltaire, recounts a fictionalized and irreverent version of the story of Joan of Arc. Divided into twenty-two cantos, the poem blends historical elements with fantastical and humorous episodes, offering a critique of religious and political institutions. This edition includes detailed notes, providing context and commentary on Voltaire's allusions and satirical intent. While controversial in its time, La Pucelle d'Orléans remains a significant work in French literature, showcasing Voltaire's wit, poetic skill, and critical perspective on French history and society.
