Publisher's Synopsis
""Joan of Arc, The Maid of Orleans: A Historical Romance in Two Acts"" is a play written by Thomas James Serle in 1882. The play tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French peasant girl who claimed to have been divinely inspired to lead the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The play is divided into two acts and follows Joan's journey from her childhood in Domr�����my to her eventual capture and execution for heresy. Along the way, she faces many challenges, including skepticism from her own people, betrayal from those she trusted, and the harsh realities of war. Despite these obstacles, Joan remains steadfast in her belief that she is doing God's will and ultimately becomes a martyr for her cause. Serle's play is a romanticized retelling of Joan's story, but it also highlights the historical significance of her actions and the impact she had on French history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
