Description and Table of Contents
Description
Through the eyes of the fictional narrator Sieur Louis de Conte we learn about Joan of Arc, seeing the actions and events of an earlier time that did not necessarily seem significant at the moment, but from the vantage point of time and maturity, now seem meaningful. Originally published in 1896, Mark Twain's use of a female as the central character separates and distinguishes this text from his others. An introduction sets it into Twain's personal and historical perspective.
