Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Schiller´s Maid of Orleans: Translated From the German Schiller´s drama, "The Maid of Orleans," is one of the poet´s later writings, it having been written in the early part of the nineteenth century, only a few years before the author´s death. The play is founded upon the French legend of Joan of Arc. The heroine Joan or, as she is more properly called, Jeanne, was, according to historians, one of three daughters of Jacques and Isabella Darc, who belonged to the feudal class known as serfs. Her father was a laborer who possessed little else but a cabin, a small garden and some cattle in the province of Domremi on the borders of Lorraine. Here little Jeanne first saw the light in 1410. She received scarcely any education, but was given some religious instruction by her mother, who appears to have been a woman somewhat superior to her associates, she having made a pilgrimage to Rome and having received the surname Romée in consequence. Jeanne used to ride her father´s horses to water and thus attained unusual proficiency as an equestrian, which stood her in good stead in her later life. During her early girlhood France was convulsed with civil war, and partly on this account the English had been able to overrun and conquer the entire northern part of it as far south as the river Loire.
