Helen Castor instructs afresh the gripping storyline of the peasant woman from Domremy who hears voices from God, leads the French army to triumph, is burned at the stake for heresy, and eventually becomes a saint. But unlike the traditional narrative, a story already designed by the knowledge of what Joan would become and informed in hindsight, Castor's Joan of Arc: A Background will take us back again to 15th hundred years France and instructs the story forwards. Rather than an icon, she gives us a full time income, breathing woman confronting the obstacles of trust and mistrust - a roaring woman who, in fighting the English, was also taking factors in a bloody civil war. We meet this outstanding woman amid the tumultuous events of her outstanding world where no person - not Joan herself, nor individuals around her (princes, bishops, troops, or peasants) - understood what would happen next.
