Mary James ENGLISH STUDIES. yoan of <tArc in England, The posthumous fortunes of Joan of Arc in Englandmay be divided into three characteristic periods—Witch, Heroine, Saint, in turn. She traversed twohundred years of wrathful insult, then a century ofhuman justice, until, with the advent of 1793, shetouches the final stage of adoration, the the following pages I shall attempt to show, asit were, the silhouette of these three great move-ments of history. Let us arm ourselves withcourage, for my earlier outlines will show little thatis noble, little that is consoling. But as our roadwinds on, the sky clears, the prospect brightens, tillthe hooting of the angry crowd at Rouen (everfurther, ever fainter) changes to a hymn of worshipand glad honour.
