title: SECOND SONG - THE PUCELLE OF ORLEANS - VOLTAIRE

subject date: 2011-03-07

caption: VOLTAIRE (François-Marie Arouet, 1694-1778) Joan of Arc is examined in her private parts to prove her virginity: rare requisite in France but necessary for carrying out the sacred mission of saving the nation. The second canto from the opera 'La Pucelle d'Orléans' heroic-comic poem in twenty-one songs, irreverent, irreverent against the patriotic / religious cult of Joan of Arc. It obviously caused scandals and controversies, and was soon censored. Its publication then continued clandestinely abroad and anonymously. Engraving, 1755 (or 1762?)
