Kathryn Harrison gives us a Joan of Arc for our time - a shining exemplar of unshakable faith, extraordinary courage, and self-confidence on the battlefield, in the royal court, during a brutally rigged inquisition and imprisonment, and in the face of death. In this new take on Joan's story, Harrison deftly weaves historical fact, myth, folklore, scripture, artistic representations, and centuries of scholarly and critical interpretation into a fascinating narrative, revitalising our sense of Joan as one of the greatest heroines in all of history.
