Joan of Arc, cross-dresser, witch, heretic, saint, hero,
savior of her country, exemplifies the production of the
past at its most problematic. She was tried three times
(burned, rehabilitated, canonized) and subjected to the
scrutiny or glorification of some 3,200 books, including not
only works of history but also plays and novels, not to
mention movies and operas by Verdi and Tchaikovsky. This
course will examine all the evidence about Joan of Arc and,
thus, what we know about Joan of Arc and how and why she
could be projected as a figure of romance, tragedy, and
parody.
