Publisher's Synopsis
""Joan of Arc, The Maid of Orleans: A Historical Romance in Two Acts"" is a play written by Thomas James Serle in 1882. The play tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young peasant girl who hears the voice of God telling her to lead the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War. Despite facing opposition and skepticism from those around her, Joan remains steadfast in her beliefs and ultimately leads the French to victory before being captured and executed by the English. The play is a fictionalized account of Joan's life, but is based on historical events and is meant to be both entertaining and educational.
