Editorial Reviews
Review
The strength of these essays is in the resistance they demonstrate to the thick layers of scholarship and tradition that have often only increased the distance between us and the truth about Joan.
–Speculum
This is the essential modern starting point for Joan of Arc studies...a volume of immense variety and richness and the editors must be congratulated for doing the scholarly and general community such a service in regard to the evergreen topic of Joan the Maid.

A Disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fresh Verdicts on Joan of Arc (New Middle Ages) (Hardcover)
I had respect for Prof. Wheeler, and so this book came as a tremendous disappointment. It does little but trot out all the latest fringe 'theories' about a woman who has already been the subject of numerous myths and dubious theories already.
