Description

Jeanne d’Arc: Her Life and Death by Margaret Oliphant traces the life of Joan of Arc from her humble beginnings in Domrémy to her rise as a divinely inspired leader during the Hundred Years' War. Guided by visions, she leads France with courage and faith, embodying purity and national hope, before facing betrayal and martyrdom.

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.
