This volume presents two significant works by Thomas De Quincey: "Joan of Arc" and "The English Mail-Coach." De Quincey, a celebrated 19th-century English essayist, is known for his eloquent prose and insightful observations on history, literature, and society. "Joan of Arc" offers a compelling and evocative portrait of the French heroine, exploring her courage and tragic fate. "The English Mail-Coach" is a more expansive and imaginative piece, blending personal reflections with vivid descriptions of the mail-coach system and its role in English life.
