For fear of the fire : Joan of Arc and the limits of subjectivity
"Meltzer's spectacular new study examines how various ages, including our own, have viewed Joan of Arc. Meltzer goes beyond historical reconstruction to consider how understandings of Joan have constructed and challenged ideas of subjectivity, femininity, the body, and the other. Meltzer also argues that the metaphysical, cultural, and sexual codifications of Joan of Arc's time are at once deconstructed and upheld by present-day theoretical discourse." -- Frenchculture.org
