This sourcebook collects together for the first time in English the major documents relating to the life and contemporary reputation of Joan of Arc. Also known as La Pucelle, she led a French Army against the English in 1429, arguably turning the course of the war in favour of the French king Charles VII. The fact that she achieved all of this when just a seventeen-year-old peasant girl highlights the magnitude of her achievements and also opens up other ways of looking at her story. For many, Joan represents the voice of ordinary people in the fifteenth century; the victims of high politics and warfare that devastated France. Her story ended tragically in 1431 when she was put on trial for heresy and sorcery by an ecclesiastical court and was burned at the stake. This book shows how the trial, which was organised by her enemies, provides an important window into late medieval attitudes towards religion and gender, as Joan was effectively persecuted by the established Church for her supposedly non-conformist views on spirituality and the role of women. Presented within a contextual and critical framework, this book encourages scholars and students to rethink this remarkable story. It will be invaluable reading for those working in the fields of medieval society and heresy, as well as the Hundred Years' War.

Auch dieses Buch erzählt eine Liebesgeschichte. Nicht nur eine. Eingebettet in ganz gewöhnliche Verhältnisse, so wie man sie abseits in den Elendsvierteln von Vitry antrifft. Bei den Ausländerfamilien. Um eine solche Familie geht es: der Vater, die Mutter, sieben Kinder. Das erste ist gestorben, das zweite heißt Ernesto, das dritte Jeanne; die anderen sind die brothers and sisters. Sie lieben einander, die Eltern, sie halten zusammen und halten Distanz zueinander. Und die Kinder lieben die Eltern, und die Eltern lieben die Kinder, doch nicht so sehr, daß die Mutter nicht doch davon geträumt hätte, sie alle im Stich zu lassen. Weil die Kinder das ahnen, weil sie wissen, daß sie nicht sicher sein können, nicht doch eines Tages allein gelassen zu werden, darum lieben sie sich untereinander. Zu einer ganz besonderen Art von Liebe entwickeln sich die Gefühle zwischen Ernesto und Jeanne. Es ist eine Liebe und die Entdeckung des Glücks.
