1657 Joan of ARC Pucelle French Hundred Years War Chapelain Jean D’Arc FAMOUS

“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”

– Joan of Arc

Until the end of the 18^th-century, the story of Joan of Arc was merely a legend, and little was written in histories about her life. She is considered a heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. Joan of Arc has been a popular figure in cultural history since the time of her death, and many famous writers, filmmakers and composers have created works about her. Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc have continued in films, theatre, television, video games, music, and performances to this day.

However, there were important 17^th-century works dedicated to Joan of Arc’s memory including this work by Chapelain, ‘La Pucelle ou La France Delivree’. This poem was extensively attacked by Boileau following its first publishing in 1656.
