Reception
The book has been reviewed in Newsweek, The New York Review of Books, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the American Historical Review.[citation needed]
Anne Llewellyn Barstow, in The American Historical Review, thought that Warner didn't do enough to contextualise Joan in her historical context.[1] Caroline Walker Bynum, writing in Church History, called the work "self-indulgent and badly written".[2]
