Joan of Arc is a historical biography written by Francis Cabot Lowell in 1896. The book tells the story of Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl who became a national heroine and a saint. Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the village of Domr�����my, France. At the age of 13, she began to have visions of saints and angels, who told her that she was chosen by God to save France from the English. Joan of Arc convinced the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, to allow her to lead the French army against the English. She was successful in several battles and became a symbol of hope for the French people. However, she was eventually captured by the English and tried for heresy. She was found guilty and burned at the stake in 1431. Joan of Arc was later canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church. Lowell's book provides a detailed account of Joan of Arc's life, from her childhood to her death, and explores the political and religious context of her time.
