Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc


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 this article, many of the excluded items are derivative of better known representations. For instance, Friedrich Schiller's 1801 play The Maid of Orleans inspired at least 82 different dramatic works during the nineteenth century, and Verdi's and Tchaikovsky's operatic adaptations are still recorded and performed. Most of the others survive only in research libraries. As another example, 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.
Portrayals of Joan of Arc are numerous. For example, in 1979 the Bibliothèque Municipale in Rouen, France displayed a gallery containing over 500 images and other items related to Joan of Arc.
The story of Joan of Arc was a popular subject for dramatization in the 1940s. In addition to Maxwell Anderson's play Joan of Lorraine and the Ingrid Bergman film Joan of Arc, 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.

Literature and theatre

DateTitleAuthorNotes
1429"Chanson en l'honneur de Jeanne d'Arc"Christine de PizanAn elegiac poem written during Joan's lifetime. The author's final work. English translation available.
1435Histoire du Siège d'OrléansAnonymous First performed in Orléans four years after Joan's death. The surviving version appears to be a revision from circa 1450. God and several saints play major roles in this sprawling drama with more than 100 speaking parts.
after 1435BalladeFrançois VillonPart of Le Testament, Villon calls Joan "the good Lorraine whom the English burned in Rouen".
1590Henry VI, Part 1William ShakespeareDrawn from 16th century English sources, Joan begins with the appearance of piety but soon proves to be a cunning witch justly executed.
1756La Pucelle d'OrléansVoltaireA mock epic poem that explores typically Voltairean themes deriding mysticism as humbug.
1796Joan of ArcRobert SoutheyAn epic poem
1801Die Jungfrau von OrleansFriedrich SchillerIn literary rebuttal to Voltaire, Schiller creates a sympathetic Joan as a Romantic heroine. A magic helmet renders her invincible until she falls in love, and is killed in battle rather than being burned at the stake. This drama was the basis of Tchaikovsky's opera of the same name.
1817 Philippe-Alexandre Le Brun de CharmettesDrawn from her own declarations, 144 depositions of witnesses, and manuscripts of the library of the King and the Tower of London.
1819L'Orléanide: Poème National en Vingt-Huit ChantsPhilippe-Alexandre Le Brun de CharmettesEpic poem based on his Histoire de Jeanne d'Arc
1821The Destiny of NationsSamuel Taylor ColeridgeInitially part of Robert Southey's Joan of Arc
1835Little Arthur's History of EnglandMaria GrahamJoan's story is briefly commented on by the author in the chapter on the life of King Henry VI. Joan is described positively as courageous and merciful.
1849"Couteau de Executioner ou Jéanne d'Arc: Un conte de l'Inquisition"Eugène SueFrom serial novel Les Mystères du Peuple. Translated into English as The Executioner's Knife or Joan of Arc: A Tale of the Inquisition by Daniel De Leon
1894La Mission de Jeanne d'ArcThérèse of LisieuxThe first of two 'pious recreations' written by the Saint; "small theatrical pieces performed by a few nuns for the rest of the community, on the occasion of certain feast days." Performed at the Carmel on 21 January 1894, it featured Thérèse in the title role. The script, which focuses more heavily upon Joan's interaction with her visions, has since been widely circulated with Saint Thérèse's writings, as has that of its sequel.
1895Jeanne d'Arc Accomplit Sa MissionThérèse of LisieuxSequel to La Mission de Jeanne d'Arc, this was performed exactly one year later, 21 January 1895. Again featuring Thérèse as Joan, its focus is upon her martyrdom. In the estimation of Thérèse's biographer, Ida Görres, the two plays "are scarcely veiled self-portraits."
1896Personal Recollections of Joan of ArcMark TwainThis work is little remembered yet in Mark Twain's own opinion was his finest work. Twain spent months in France researching newly rediscovered documents and years of research overall. This reverent fictional biography is Twain's most uncharacteristic novel. Project Gutenberg text: and . He published it under a different pseudonym: Jean François Alden.

1923Saint JoanGeorge Bernard ShawThis 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.

1943The FountainheadAyn RandRand's original manuscript of The Fountainhead included a major character named Vesta Dunning, a talented young actress whose greatest dream is to play Joan of Arc on the stage. In one scene, Dunning is shown rehearsing a long monologue by Joan of Arc. However, Rand – pressured by her publisher to shorten the book – entirely dropped this character from the final published text. The deleted parts, including the Joan of Arc monologue, were published after Rand's death by Leonard Peikoff.
1946Joan of LorraineMaxwell AndersonThis play-within-a-play is chiefly memorable for Ingrid Bergman's Tony-winning performance.

1955Seraphic DialogueMartha GrahamModern-dance work in one act with choreography by Graham, music by Norman Dello Joio, set by Isamu Noguchi, costumes by Graham, and lighting by Jean Rosenthal. It was originally choreographed as a solo under Triumph of St Joan. In this revised version, Joan looks back over her life in a series of danced dialogues with her guiding spirit, St Michael, and with three figures who represent different aspects of her nature: maid, warrior, and martyr. At the work's close, the transfigured Joan takes her place among the saints.

1972"Jeanne d'Arc"Patti SmithPoem. From Seventh Heaven.
1974Blood Red, Sister RoseThomas KeneallyThe novel explores the imagined psychology of Joan and tells her story from Domrémy to the coronation of Charles VII.

Joan of Arc's short haircut had a profound effect on women's hairstyles in the twentieth century. In 1909, the Paris hairdresser Antoine took Joan of Arc as the inspiration for the bob, which ended centuries of taboo against women who cut their hair. The style became popular in the 1920s and was associated with liberated women. Nearly all subsequent Western hair fashions are designed for women who cut their hair at least occasionally. Such haircut is still known in French as coupe à la Jeanne d'Arc.
During the Cristero War in 1927, a group of female Cristeros named themselves after Joan of Arc. They obtained money, supplies, and intelligence for the male combatants. They often smuggled weapons into war zones and cared for the wounded. By the end of the war they had 35,000 participants.
Several people have been seen as modern versions of Joan of Arc:
