	Patron Saints Index: Saint Joan of Arc

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Joan of Arc
		Although Joan never made any statement as to the date at which the voices revealed her mission, it seems certain that the call of God was only made known to her gradually.
		Joan, pressed about the secret sign given to the king, declared that an angel brought him a golden crown, but on further questioning she seems to have grown confused and to have contradicted herself.
		It was asserted later that Joan's reluctance to pledge herself to a simple acceptance of the Church's decisions was due to some insidious advice treacherously imparted to her to work her ruin.

	SAINT JOAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Joan of Arc, a village girl from the Vosges, was born about 1412; burnt for heresy, witchcraft, and sorcery in 1431; rehabilitated after a fashion in 1456; designated Venerable in 1904; declared Blessed in 1908; and finally canonized in 1920.
		Joan got a far fairer trial from the Church and the Inquisition than any prisoner of her type and in her situation gets nowadays in any official secular court; and the decision was strictly according to law.
		This is Joan's lesson to The Church; and its formulation by the hand of a priest emboldens me to claim that her canonization was a magnificently Catholic gesture as the canonization of a Protestant saint by the Church of Rome.

	The Life of Saint Joan of Arc
		The setting for Joan’s birth, and her 19 years of life, was in northern France during the Hundred Years’ War.
		Joan acquired a deep religious belief from her mother and spent much of her time praying in church.
		In 1428, Joan’s visions continued, and her friends [who believed she was really divinely inspired] obtained a horse and boy’s clothing for her and accompanied her to the military commander at Vaucouleurs [which is located just west of Nancy in present the present day départment of Meuse, region of Lorraine], Robert de Baudricourt.

	Saint Joan
		It was inspired by the canonization of Joan of Arc in 1920, nearly five centuries after her death in 1431.
		Joan leads France to victory over the English by dint of her innate intelligence and leadership and not through supernatural guidance.
		As a superior being "crushed between those mighty forces, the Church and the Law," Joan is the personification of the tragic heroine; her martyrdom embodies the paradox that humans fear--and often kill--their saints and heroes.

		JOAN'S GOOD LOOKS To put the last point roughly, any book about Joan which begins by describing her as a beauty may be at once classed as a romance.
		JOAN'S SOCIAL POSITION By class Joan was the daughter of a working farmer who was one of the headmen of his village, and transacted its feudal business for it with the neighbouring squires and their lawyers.
		There is the same tendency to drive Joan into the position of a hired shepherd girl, though a hired shepherd girl in Domremy would have deferred to her as the young lady of the farm.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Saint Joan
		Saint Joan, first produced in New York in 1923 and in London in 1924, is considered by many to be Shaw's greatest play, though some critics have taken a more negative view of it and it has probably been ranked less highly in recent years than in the past.
		Though Joan understands the voices commanding her to save France as coming from Christian saints, in the context of Shavian thought they can be understood as expressions of the “evolutionary appetite” urging humanity to aspire and ascend to the next evolutionary stage.
		Joan is a threat to this as her commitment to her voices by-passes the authority of the Church in favour of the individual and her proto-nationalism threatens feudal ideas which are trans-national.

	St Joan of Arc
		Joan went home slightly wounded in the foot, but at dawn next day (May 7th) she was again with the men, fighting for the possession of the fort of Les Tourelles which commanded the bridge of Orleans.
		Joan of Arc claimed that her visions were from God; to the judges this was unthinkable; if they were, it meant that God was against England, it meant also that theirs was a tribunal of traitors.
		The verdict of 1431 was reversed by Pope Calixtus III on the grounds of the obvious hostility and unfairness of the judges, of additions, suppressions and omissions in the summing-up, of the incompetence of the court, culminating in an illegal sentence and an irregular execution.

		Saint Joan was one of my favorite childhood heroines; a teenage girl who lead the French army to victory against the British in the early 1400's, inspired by heavenly voices.
		She was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic church in 1920.

		Joan of Arc, born in 1412, was burned at the stake in 1431, canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920, and, like most saints, whitewashed by history.
		Shaw's Joan, like the real Maid of Orleans, leads the fight to drive the English out of her native France, insists on direct communication with her God instead of submitting to the mediation of Catholic priests, and refuses to dress, speak, or act according to traditional notions of how women were expected to behave.
		Joan was perfectly within her rights, even under the rules of the medieval Church, to question her biased judges, and was declared a martyr for Catholicism by Inquisitor Brehal when her execution was declared invalid in 1456.

		He meant it as a tonic against the romance over Joan that was current at the time -- the soft-focus notion of a pretty farm girl guided by voices to the command of a national French army, a prophet-virgin in armor destroyed by the corrupt (and personally-offended) functionaries of Rome.
		Burning Joan wasn't a terrific scandal of corruption and lies, Shaw wanted to say: It was simply the way of the world.
		The whole play might exist for the climactic tantrum where Joan tears up her apology to the church and essentially throws herself on the fire, to avoid the Inquisitor's mercy of a prison sentence.

		In fact, he modestly said that he had done little more than reproduce Joan’s own words as recorded in the transcripts; however, that statement is unfair to Shaw, who left a distinctive Shavian touch on the story of the martyred saint.

		Saint Joan was actress Jean Seberg's first movie; she was 17 years old then probably the same age as Jeanne D'arc herself when her unpaid career began in the French military.
		Joan of Arc died in Rouen, France in Normandy on May 30, 1431.
		SAINT JOAN is still worth seeing, if only to appreciate how much more confident an actress Seberg would become in BONJOUR TRISTESSE (also directed by Preminger) and, of course, in Godard's BREATHLESS.

		What better story for Shaw to explore than the true story of Joan of Arc who wore a soldier’s uniform and fought men with her own sword at a time when such things were unheard of.
		We see Joan’s original verdict thrown out and Joan declared innocent, and we follow her all the way into the 20th century when Pope Benedict XV canonizes her as a saint.
		In a dream-like ethereal realm, all those who had a part in condemning her to death make heart felt apologies, but when Joan comes up with the idea of resurrecting herself now that she’s been declared a saint, everyone gets very queasy at the thought and begs her to stay dead.

		The heaviness never approaches hard edged aggression, instead suggesting the weight of emotional baggage or a fl raincloud.
		Saint Joan take their time letting these smoldering epics unfold, using guitar tones that mix folk finger-picking and the sparse reverb of a Low piece, painting huge pictures with minimal strokes.
		On top of it all, vocalist Ellen McGee's delicate voice uses all of the space between her low croon and her haunting falsetto.

		This version by Otto Preminger is based on the play by Bernard Shaw, in which the ghost of Joan of Arc appears to Charles VII years after her execution.
		Jean Seberg plays Joan as a very modern looking, very young girl who questions everything she sees and is at first tolerated and then shunned and feared.
		This version of the Joan of Arc tale has a greater feel of realism that the 40s version with Ingrid Bergman, but I rate the silent versions 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' and 'Joan the Woman' higher.

	Saint Joan
		A profound and witty work, Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan explores the themes of faith and truth, nationhood and social progress, through the story of Joan of Arc in the fifteenth century.
		Guided by her 'inner voices', country maid Joan dares to proclaim that she is in direct communion with God, usurping the power and authority of the Church.
		The lead, Bridget Moloney, is an excellent Joan, exploiting the humor of a bumpkin upstart with aspirations to change the world, and taking us on a moving journey from a rising hero of the war towards inevitable excommunication and execution.
