The original narrative tells of Jeanne who led the French army of Charles VII to victory against the English in alliance with Burgundians in the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453). This thesis argues that Voltaire and Gravelot dramatically altered this original narrative to make points with eighteenth-century significance. It examines the ways in which Voltaire and Gravelot were drawing upon eighteenth-century discourses on gender and class, and those concerning the French monarchy and the Catholic Church. In particular, this study offers an insight into how Gravelot’s illustrations conveyed his understanding of Voltaire’s poem to an eighteenth-century audience. The relationship between the text and the images for the 1762 edition of La Pucelle has been overlooked by previous scholarship. It shows how Gravelot’s illustrations were more than a supporting tool for the poem and that they played an important role in heightening the readers’ understanding and enjoyment of Voltaire’s La Pucelle d’Orléans. 2011-07 graduation eng This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.
