Saint Joan: The Woman and the Saint by Etienne Robo is a comprehensive biography of Joan of Arc, one of the most revered figures in French history. The book covers her life from her humble beginnings as a peasant girl to her rise as a military leader during the Hundred Years' War, and ultimately her trial and execution for heresy. Robo provides a detailed account of Joan's religious visions and her belief that God had chosen her to lead the French army to victory against the English. He also explores the political and social context of the time, including the complex relationships between France and England, the role of the Church, and the challenges faced by women in a male-dominated society. The book delves into the controversies surrounding Joan's trial and the conflicting accounts of her character and actions. Robo examines the various interpretations of Joan's life and legacy, including her canonization as a saint by the Catholic Church. Overall, Saint Joan: The Woman and the Saint is a well-researched and engaging biography that offers a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of history's most enigmatic figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
