Joan of Arc: Her Image in France and America

Joan of Arc: Her Image in France and America celebrates the cultural legacy of this medieval French heroine. Born in Domremy, France, around 1412, Saint Joan endures as one of the most famous people of the Middle Ages, and her extraordinary life has engaged generations of historians, writers, artists, and—most recently—Hollywood film producers, many of whom have used her image to stir an astonishing array of passions. This highly illustrated book, published on the occasion of a major exhibition organized by the authors at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., is the first to explore the history of Joan's image both in France and America.
