Dobski on Mark Twain's Recollections of Joan of Arc","description":"Professor B.J. Dobski joins Greg and David this week to examine Mark Twain\u2019s Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, a work that stands in stark contrast to Twain\u2019s more familiar satirical writings. Through careful analysis, and using his latest book\u2014Mark Twain\u2019s Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity\u2014as a backdrop, Dobski illuminates Twain\u2019s treatment of virtue, heroism, and historical memory, as well as the novel\u2019s philosophical and political dimensions. The conversation situates Twain\u2019s Joan within broader questions of leadership, sainthood, and the moral imagination.
