Reviews were generally not positive criticizing Twain for departing from his normal genre. Many people were suspicious at first thinking Twain was perpetrating some kind of a joke. There was a certain amount of confusion when the public found out that Twain was actually the author. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was originally published in Harpers Magazine in 1895 as chapters attributed to the fictitious author Sieur Louis de Conte. Most people are unaware that Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) spent over a decade researching Saint Joan of Arc and wrote what he considered to be his greatest work about her.
