Description

Margaret Oliphant's Jeanne d'Arc follows Joan from Domremy through the voices that send her to Chinon, the relief of Orleans, and the crowning road to Reims. Courage and faith carry her until capture, trial, and the fire at Rouen close the life. A biography of leadership under vision, betrayal, and martyrdom, told as a life that still asks what inspiration costs.

Author

Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was a Scottish novelist who wrote as if the rent depended on it — because it often did. Widowed young, she supported a large household with novels, biographies, reviews, and stories of the seen and unseen, becoming one of the Victorian age's most tireless professionals. Domestic realism, historical fiction, and ghostly tales all came from the same steady pen.
