Joan of Arc is a famous historical figure and there have been many biographies about the French peasant girl who became a soldier and led her countrymen against the occupying English. Timothy Wilson-Smiths new book takes a new and unique angle on Joan, not merely giving an account of a life cut short but focusing also on her long history which, at her death in 1431, had just begun. In her lifetime Joan was supported by theologians like Jean Gerson and the poet Christine de Pisan. Barely a generation after her death for heresy France was free of English occupation outside Calais, Joans trial was re-examined and she was vindicated. Yet, for centuries after her rehabilitation, Joan of Arc was largely forgotten. Although mythologised by writers such as Shakespeare, Voltaire and Schiller, it was not until the publication of her trial documents in the nineteenth century that authors such as Mark Twain and George Bernard Shaw could attempt to writer of her as she was. She became widely venerated in both France and Britain, and sculptors and painters made her a popular icon. As a national heroine she inspired the fight against Germany in the First World War, excused anti-English feeling in Vichy France and encouraged the Free French. Today she is an emblem for Le Pens National Front and her appeal extends far beyond France. Timothy Wilson-Smith sets the events of Joans story in the context of Anglo-French and religious history. He brings out the contradictions in her reputation: the patriot, admired by those who no longer believe in consecrated kings; the saint, revered in an increasingly secular country, Joan of Arc: Maid, Myth and History provides an engaging insight into both the life and afterlife of this most enigmatic of medieval women., 0, Paperback / softback.
