About this book
Joan of Arc, called Johanna in this version, is the heroine of Friedrich Schiller's verse tragedy, here in Anna Swanwick's English translation. Schiller's play dates from 1801. A prologue and five acts bring on Charles the Seventh, Queen Isabel, Agnes Sorel, the Duke of Burgundy and the English general Talbot, along with Thibaut d'Arc and his daughters. The prologue is set in the countryside, where Thibaut tells his neighbours that England holds Paris and the French king is a fugitive, then turns to settling his daughters' marriages.
