''The Maid of Orleans: A Romantic Chronicle'' is a historical novel written by Emma Robinson and published in 1850. The book is a fictionalized account of the life of Joan of Arc, the French heroine who led the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. The novel follows Joan’s life from her humble beginnings as a peasant girl in Domr�����my to her rise as a military leader and her eventual trial and execution at the hands of the English. The story is told from multiple perspectives, including that of Joan herself, as well as her family, friends, and enemies. Throughout the book, Robinson portrays Joan as a courageous and devout young woman, driven by her faith and her desire to free France from English rule. The novel also explores the political and social context of the time, including the role of women in medieval society and the tensions between the French and English. Overall, ''The Maid of Orleans'' is a sweeping and romantic tale of one of history’s most fascinating and inspiring figures. It offers a vivid and engaging portrayal of Joan of Arc and her remarkable life, as well as a glimpse into the world in which she lived.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
