Jeanne D’Arc: Her Life and Death is a historical biography written by Margaret Oliphant in 1908. The book tells the story of Jeanne d’Arc, a young French peasant girl who claimed to have been sent by God to help the French army in their fight against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. Jeanne’s life and death have been a subject of fascination for centuries, and this book aims to provide a comprehensive account of her life, her visions, and her ultimate trial and execution. Oliphant delves into the social and political context of Jeanne’s time, exploring the power struggles between the English and French monarchies, as well as the religious tensions between Catholicism and Protestantism. She also examines the role of women in medieval society, and how Jeanne’s gender and social status influenced her treatment by the authorities. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Jeanne’s life. Oliphant draws on historical documents, eyewitness accounts, and other sources to provide a detailed and engaging narrative. She also includes illustrations and maps to help readers better understand the geography and events of Jeanne’s life. Overall, Jeanne D’Arc: Her Life and Death is a fascinating and well-researched biography of one of history’s most intriguing figures. It provides a nuanced and insightful look at the political and social forces that shaped Jeanne’s life, as well as the religious and cultural significance of her legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
