| Summary | "Joan of Arc" by Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography aims to recount the extraordinary life and achievements of Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, emphasizing her role in restoring France during its turbulent times in the 15th century. The narrative highlights her visions, her resolve to see Charles VII crowned, and the religious devotion that fueled her mission. At the start of the book, Gower sets the stage by outlining the dire circumstances in France around the year 1420, detailing how the country was on the verge of collapse under English dominance. He introduces Joan as a humble maiden from Domrémy, discussing her early life and the development of her mystical experiences and visions that would ultimately steer her towards her fateful mission to save her homeland. The narrative captures the essence of her character—one marked by virtue, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to her people—while foreshadowing the monumental challenges she will face in her quest.
