Maid Of France - Harold Brighouse - Bog

""Maid of France"" is a one-act play written by Harold Brighouse and first published in 1917. The play tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French peasant girl who claimed to have received divine guidance to lead the French army against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The play takes place in the prison cell where Joan is being held before her execution. Through a series of flashbacks, we see Joan's journey from her humble beginnings to her rise as a military leader and her eventual capture by the English. The play explores themes of faith, courage, and sacrifice as Joan faces her impending death with dignity and conviction. Brighouse's play is a powerful tribute to one of history's most inspiring heroines and a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
