 | The Interrogation of Joan of Arc Subjects: Joan of Arc Saint 1412–1431 -- Trials litigation etc.; Questioning -- France -- History -- Sources; Christian women saints -- France -- Biography; The transcripts of Joan of ArcOCOs trial for heresy at Rouen in 1431 and the minutes of her interrogation have long been recognized as our best source of information about the Maid of Orleans. Focusing on the minutes recorded by clerics, however, Karen Sullivan challenges the accuracy of the transcript. In The Interrogation of Joan of Arc, she re-reads the record not as a perfect reflection of a historical personalityOCOs words, but as a literary text resulting from the collaboration between Joan and her interrogators." |
