Excerpt from English Studies
Ah, if he could have yielded, it would never have been because of the obstacles apparent in his path! The sirens sing of a far subtler seduction. And when in the middle of his long arid labour.

Paperback. Condizione: NEW. Print on Demand. This book traces the reputation of Joan of Arc in England from her death to the 19th century. The author argues that after an initial period of vilification as a witch, humanist ideas circulating in England began to cast her as a national heroine. However, this admiration was often tainted by national and religious prejudice and it was only with the advent of the French Revolution that the Maid of Orleans began to be seen as a figure of universal appeal. The process culminated in the 19th century when, through the efforts of historians, scholars, and artists both British and French, she was finally recognised as a symbol of national pride, a feminist icon, and a figure of universal religious significance. The author demonstrates how the evolution of Joanâs image in England not only illuminated her own story, but also reflected broader cultural and political changes within English society. The book will be of interest to scholars studying the history of England, France, and women's history, as well as general readers interested in the life of Joan of Arc or medieval history.
