Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres by Henry Adams
"Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres" by Henry Adams is a book privately published in 1904. This playful meditation on medieval culture frames itself as a tour through three centuries, guiding readers through the worldview of the Middle Ages. Adams explores the Mont Saint Michel Abbey, the epic poem "Le Chanson de Roland," and extensively analyzes Chartres Cathedral, examining how architecture, poetry, and philosophy expressed medieval devotion to the Virgin Mary. The final chapters turn
to intellectual figures like Peter Abelard, Francis of Assisi, and Thomas Aquinas, drawing connections between spiritual and architectural grandeur. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
