Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres
Fiction
Adams's eccentric 1904 meditation on 13th-century Gothic cathedrals as expressions of a unified medieval worldview — a civilization that could focus its energy on a single act of collective devotion. Graham listed it as an obscure favorite; Adams treats architecture as the purest record of what a society actually believed.
