Description Product Description Review 'A triumph - brings the real Joan and her time to dramatic, moving and brilliant life.' (Dan Jones, author of The Plantagenets) Joan of Arc: a History is popular history at its best: pacy, clear and undergirded with a formidable array of scholarly footnotes. Helen Castor shows how well it can be done. (Diarmaid MacCulloch Daily Telegraph) There have been many lives of Joan, and books about her times, some of them excellent. But none is quite like Castor's ... [her] book is a historian's achievement. (Janet Nelson Guardian) [A] vivid and intelligent biography ... hugely impressive. (Andrew Lynch Sunday Business Post) Clear and elegant ... an engaging piece of popular scholarship that does not diminish Joan's star, but instead uses its light to illuminate a remarkable age. (Rachel Moss Times Higher Education) Excellent ... perhaps Castor's greatest achievement is to remind us of just how extraordinary Joan was. (Linda Porter Literary Review) 'Compelling ... [Castor] succeeds triumphantly in rescuing [Joan] from the various straitjackets in which she has been confined ... a fascinating and privileged insight.' (Christopher Hart Sunday Times) An elegant, subtle biography of great historical integrity and sensitive understanding. Castor lets the humanity of Joan's story shine through. (Kate Mosse Evening Standard) 'A fascinating biography ... truly thrilling.' (Kathryn Hughes Daily Mail, Book of the Week) 'Enlightening ... [an] elegant and vivid account.' (The Times Charles Bremner) Book Description Excitingly retold by one of our finest historians, this is the story of Joan of Arc as you have never read it before.
