商品簡介
French and American literary critics and film and theater scholars trace the western literary and cinematic legend of the Maid of Orleans from the time of her death in 1431 to the present. They discuss Shakespeare and Voltaire; 17th-century France; high priests, heroes, and hooligans in the portrayal of Joan of Arc from 1824 to 1945; a myth on trial; and the cinema. Five of the essays were published as Jeanne d'Arc en garde a vue by Le Cri, Brussels, in 1999; the English translation adds another, on The American Maid.
