FS 117 - Joan of Arc

Illiterate peasant, mystic, and military leader during the Hundred Years War, Joan of Arc (d.1431) was captured and eventually executed for witchcraft and heresy. Her life and death allow us to explore issues associated with gender, war, heresy, and politics in the pre-modern world. Contemporary literature and films will also demonstrate her influence today.
