Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. Mark Twain

A work that Mark Twain himself considered his last finished and most important novel, «The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc», is a departure from Twain's usual comic and satirical spirit. «Joan» is a work of serious historical reflection that suggests that the English deliberately rigged the trial of Joan of Arc to convict her of witchcraft and heresy, a view that recent scholarship seems to support.
