Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc

Description

Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc is a historical novel by Mark Twain, published in 1896. It recounts the life of Joan of Arc, and is divided into three sections according to Joan of Arc's development: a youth in Domrémy, a commander of the army of Charles VII of France, and a defendant at trial in Rouen. Twain saw this as his best book. Whilst completely anti-Catholic, he had previously developed a fascination with Joan of Arc in the early 1850s. The book is split into three sections. The first (In Domremy) has eight chapters. The second (In Court and Camp) has forty-one chapters. The third (Trial and Martyrdom) has twenty-four chapters.
