Henry V's second invasion of France in 1417 launched a campaign that would put the crown of France on an English head. Only the miraculous appearance of a visionary peasant girl - Joan of Arc - would halt the English advance. Yet despite her victories, her influence was short-lived: Henry VI had his coronation in Paris six months after her death and his kingdom endured for another twenty years.

In The Conquest of Bread, first published in 1892, Kropotkin set out his ideas on how his heightened idealism could work.

This led rapidly to decades of exile. It is a passionate, even a fierce polemic for dramatic social change.
