Synopsis
Invited to France by the wife of Henry Cabot Lodge, Henry Adams toured the cathedrals and found in them a sense of identity with his Norman ancestors. Enamored of the 11th and 12th centuries, Adams found contemporary tourism unspeakably horrific. On a visit to Chartres, Adams was nearly transported with wonder at the achievement of medieval man on the cusp of the Renaissance.

Industry Reviews
"It was an experience that he would never get over. He divined in the cathedral the intention of twelfth-century man to unite all arts and sciences in the service of God....It was the greatest single creation of man, to whom it gave a dignity which he was in no other instances entitled to claim. Adams likened himself to a monkey looking through a telescope at the stars."
