Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joan of Arc statue at Place des Pyramides, Paris by Emmanuel Frémiet, 1874.

Joan of Arc has inspired artistic and cultural works for nearly six centuries. The following lists cover various media to include items of historic interest, enduring works of high art, and recent representations in popular culture. The entries represent portrayals that a reader has a reasonable chance of encountering rather than a complete catalog. Lesser known works, particularly from early periods, are not included. In 1979 the Bibliothèque Municipale in Rouen, France held an exhibition that contained over 500 images and other items that related to Joan of Arc.^[1]

Many of the excluded items are derivative of better known representations. For instance, Schiller's play inspired at least 82 different dramatic works during the nineteenth century. Verdi's and Tchaikovski's operatic adaptations are still recorded and performed. Most of the others survive only in research libraries.^[2] In 1894 Émile Huet listed over 400 plays and musical works about Joan of Arc. Despite a great deal of scholarly interest in Joan of Arc no complete list of artistic works about her exists, although a 1989 doctoral dissertation did identify all relevant films including ones for which no copy survives.^[3]

For purposes of classification, popular culture music is a separate section from operas and oratorios. Films include made-for-television movies and miniseries. Television covers live action series and North American animation but not Japanese anime, which appears with manga and graphic novels.

The story of Joan of Arc was a popular subject for dramatization in the 1940's. (Perhaps this was due to World War II and the appeal of the subject of driving invaders from one's country.) In addition to Maxwell Anderson's play Joan of Lorraine and the Ingrid Bergman film Joan of Arc (1948 film), there was also the 1948 RKO film The Miracle of the Bells starring Fred MacMurray, Alida Valli, and Frank Sinatra, about a dying film actress whose first and last role is Joan of Arc. There were also three radio dramatizations of the story of Joan during those years, one of them specifically written with a World War II framework.

Date	Title	Author	Notes
1429	"Song in Honor of Joan of Arc"	Christine de Pizan	An elegiac poem written during Jeanne's own lifetime is this author's final work. English translation available: [4].
1450	Mystery of the Siege of Orléans	Anonymous (possibly Jacques Millet)	First performed in Orléans four years after Joan of Arc's death. The surviving version appears to be a revision from around 1450. God and several saints play major roles in this sprawling drama of more than a hundred speaking parts.
1590	Henry VI, Part 1	William Shakespeare	Joan la Pucelle is the principal villain. Drawn from English sources of the previous century, this Joan of Arc begins with the appearance of piety but soon proves to be a cunning witch justly executed. Project Gutenberg text: [5].
1756	The Maid of Orleans	Voltaire	A mock epic poem that explores typically Voltairean themes deriding mysticism as humbug. Wikisource text (in French): [6]
1801	The Maid of Orléans	Friedrich Schiller	In literary rebuttal to Voltaire, Schiller creates a sympathetic Joan of Arc as a Romantic heroine. A magic helmet renders her invincible until she falls in love, and she is killed in battle rather than being burned at the stake. This drama was the basis of Tchaikovsky's opera of the same name. Project Gutenberg text in English: [7].
1817	Histoire de Jeanne d'Arc (History of Joan of Arc)	Philippe-Alexandre Le Brun de Charmettes	(Paris, Ed. Artus Bertrand, 1817) Called the Maid of Orléans, drawn from her own declarations, of one hundred forty-four depositions of eyewitnesses, and of the manuscripts of the library of the King and the Tower of London.
1896	Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc	Mark Twain	This novel remains little remembered yet in his own opinion was his finest work. Twain spent months in France researching newly rediscovered documents. This reverent fictional biography is Twain's most uncharacteristic novel. Project Gutenberg text: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
1912	Tapestry of Saint Genevieve and Joan of Arc	Charles Péguy	Poetry. Péguy also wrote a play in three parts entitled Jeanne d'Arc, (1896).
1923	Gilles and Jeanne	Georg Kaiser	Expressionist drama explores Joan of Arc's association with the most notorious criminal of her era, Gilles de Rais.
1923	Saint Joan	George Bernard Shaw	This drama, widely esteemed as Shaw's masterpiece, draws heavily from trial records. Historians dismiss Shaw's contention that she was an early Protestant with impartial judges. Subsequent twentieth century plays often mirror Shaw's interest in her trial. ISBN 0-14-043791-6
1930	Saint Joan of the Stockyards	Bertolt Brecht	Transposes Joan of Arc into working class Chicago and portrays her as a labor leader. Brecht made Joan of Arc the subject of three separate plays, all with Socialist themes. ISBN 1-55970-420-9
1946	Joan of Lorraine	Maxwell Anderson	This play-within-a-play with a debt to Shaw is chiefly memorable as the basis for Ingrid Bergman's screen portrayal. ASIN B0006YOM36
1953	The Lark	Jean Anouilh	An allegory of Vichy collaboration in the aftermath of World War II. Lillian Hellman's noteworthy English translation adds a critique of McCarthyism and included a score by Leonard Bernstein. ISBN 0-8222-0634-X
1964	The Dead Lady of Clown Town	Cordwainer Smith	A far-future science fiction story with strong parallels to the history of Joan of Arc.
1974	Blood Red, Sister Rose	Thomas Keneally	A psychological novel in which Joan of Arc is an emotional and instinctive soldier who dabbles in the occult. ISBN 0-00-221087-8
1997	An Army of Angels	Pamela Marcantel	A novel which depicts Joan of Arc according to the author's conception of her personality. ISBN 0-312-18042-X
