English Perceptions of Joan of Arc from the 15th to 21st Centuries
Event Type: Branch
Takes Place: 17th March 2025
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: University of Gloucestershire, Oxstalls Campus, Gloucester GL2 9HW and online via Zoom
Description: Joan of Arc was instrumental in undermining English rule in France in the early fifteenth century and it is hardly surprising that she was portrayed wholly negatively in English sources of the period. Yet views changed in later centuries and Joan became quite a heroine for English writers. Anne will trace this changing reputation through words and images of Joan from the middle ages to today.
