JOAN OF ARC
In Her Own Words
Few historical figures have been as universally loved and no saints more adored than Joan of Arc. The story of the young French peasant girl who led an army to help crown a kind and was burned at the stake for her efforts has never lost its power to move us.
Using only material compiled from the transcripts and testimony of Joan of Arc's condemnation trials, translator Willard Trask has arranged her exact works into a unique autobiography. Stripped of the usual interpretive gloss, Joan's words resonate with a glow that has made her an enduring political, military and spiritual heroine.
Willard Trask was the private secretary to Ford Maddox Ford. Although he was self-educated, he was a National Book Award.
