Synopsis

Rarely, if ever, has history experienced a more penetrating demonstration of the overarching power of the human spirit in a time of trial. This book is a poetic interpretation of the inquiry and condemnation of Jeanne, the maid of Domrémy, recorded in 1431. Drawing on the verbatim record of the trial, this book gives the modern reader a rare look at the speech and personal demeanor of an illiterate person in the Middle Ages; made rarer by the gender and the unique personality of Jeanne, who here both originates and personifies our universal concept of human dignity.
