Anatole France sought to explain Joan's visions and historical impact through a psychological and secular lens, aiming to counter the Catholic Church's ongoing efforts to canonize her at the time. The biography explores the young girl from Domrémy not as a flawless supernatural entity, but as a passionate figure deeply entangled in the dynastic struggles of the Hundred Years' War.
