Privately printed in 1904 for the delectation of his nieces (and commercially published in 1913), this extended essay by Adams is an amalgam of history, travel, and poetry celebrating—and mourning the loss of—the unity of medieval society as captured in these two great French cathedrals.
Über den Autor
Henry Adams (1838-1918) was a journalist, historian, and the descendant of two U.S. presidents. His studies of democracy, which culminated in his magesterial nine-volume History of the United States of America During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (1889-91), left him profoundly disillusioned with politics. His autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams (1918), is considered an American classic.
