The White Company is historical fiction placed in the early part of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. For the author, the real beginnings of modernity, by which he means principally the development of the bureaucratic state, occur in the fourteenth century during the period of the Hundred Years' War. Although the subject, a popular and compelling one, is the same, as are the essential details of Joan's life--her vision-inspired dedication to the defense of France in the Hundred Years' War, her military genius, her betrayal and martyrdom--the effect of these two biographies is quite different. |
