The Survival of St. Joan

The play script is held in the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and remains unpublished.^{[citation needed]} It contains many scene changes, often depicting how ordinary people's lives are affected by the war, including Joan's brother, Charles — acting as a scribe for his mother — requesting the king to provide them Joan's soldier's wages to live on, and chiding her for some irate informalisms she wants to include in the letter.
