Joan of Arc by Ronald Gower is a comprehensive biography of one of the most iconic figures in French history. The book covers the life and legacy of Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from the village of Domr�����my who became a military leader and ultimately a martyr during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Gower delves into Joan's upbringing, her visions and voices that led her to believe she was chosen by God to lead the French army to victory, her military campaigns, her capture and trial for heresy, and her eventual execution at the stake. The book also explores the political and social context of Joan's time, including the tensions between the French and English, the role of the Church, and the attitudes towards women in medieval Europe. Gower draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Joan's own words from her trial, to provide a nuanced and detailed portrait of this complex historical figure. Overall, Joan of Arc is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in medieval history, military strategy, or women's studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
