| Summary | "Joan of Arc: A Play in Five Acts" by Mrs. J. A. Sargant is a dramatic work written in the early 19th century. The play focuses on the historical figure Joan of Arc, as it portrays her mission to save France during its tumultuous conflict with England. Readers can expect a blend of history and drama that explores themes of heroism, faith, and national duty through the eyes of its titular character. The beginning of the play introduces various characters in the French court as they prepare for the arrival of Joan, who is expected to deliver hope to a beleaguered nation. Two characters, Alençon and Xaintrailles, discuss the rumors surrounding the maid from Domremie and express skepticism about her humble origins and claims of divine support. Meanwhile, Joan is depicted as determined and visionary, boldly asserting that she has been sent by Heaven to raise the siege of Orleans and restore the rightful king to his throne. The tension builds as Joan makes her way to the Dauphin, Charles, setting the stage for her pivotal role in the story of France's salvation. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
