Henry Adams on the Road to Chartres

Robert Mane

4.9/5 (19901 ratings)

Description:Henry Adams’ poetic reconstruction of the Middle Ages, Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, is distinguished by the originality of its vision—more “real” than reality, more true and penetrating than the works of learned medievalists. Although, as Robert Mane interestingly details, Adams’ medieval scholarship was unreliable, it was never his intention to write either a scholarly treatise or a guidebook. The power, insight, and charm of the work lie in its intensely personal quality. Mane approaches Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres by exploring Adams’ imaginative world and the influences that set him on the road to Chartres—his love of things Gothic, his literary approach to the study of architecture, the death of his wife, his reawakening to life in the South Seas, his deep attachment to Mrs. Cameron, and his travels through France. Mane’s brilliant study sheds new light both on Adams’ work and on the sources of its imaginative and emotional unity. -- Publisher.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
