1954 English language 1st Edition hardback with dustjacket, published in 1954 by Odhams Press Limited, 367 pages long, translated from the French by Gerard Hopkins. About this book: This important new biography of Joan of Arc, written by a distinguished French novelist and essayist, gained for the author the Grand Prix d'Histoire of the Académie Francaise. It is based on 25 years of intensive study and research into all available sources of reference, including original documents and chronicles. Fabre's approach is historical and objective. In an attempt to set all the relevant problems in the most revealing light, he has included many vital documents that are to be found nowhere else in the many volumes of our own day devoted to Joan. Of particular interest are those relating in detail to the iniquitous Rouen trial and to the subsequent findings of the Court of Rehabilitation. To the qualities of accuracy and objectivity, Fabre has added sympathy and humanity and the result, in the words of no less an authority than Paul Claudel, is "the finest book that has ever been written on Joan of Arc".
