| Summary | "Vie de Jeanne d'Arc" by Anatole France is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the life and trials of the iconic French figure Jeanne d'Arc, detailing her pivotal role during the Hundred Years' War and her interactions with key historical figures of her time, including King Charles VII. France's narrative style offers both a historical recounting and a critical examination of the events surrounding Jeanne's life, blending fact with literary artistry. The opening of the text sets the stage for Charles VII's campaign as the king moves with his army through various French towns struggling against the Anglo-Burgundian forces. It explores the precarious situation faced by towns like Soissons amid the chaos of war, emphasizing the disarray brought on by shifting allegiances. Jeanne d'Arc is introduced in her emerging role as a leader, as she communicates with townsfolk, commands respect, and expresses her divine mission to aid France. The text captures the stark realities of war, the hopes and fears of the common people, and the growing legend of Jeanne as a pivotal figure destined to alter the course of French history.
