A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For years the makers of this book have spent the sumnier time in wandering aljout llie French country; kd here by the fame of some old monument, or there by an incident of history. They have found the real, unspoiled France, often unexplored by any except the French themselves, and practically unknown to foreigners, even to llie ubiquitous maker of guide-books. For weeks together tliey have travelled without meeting an English-speaking person. It is, therefore, not surj)rising tliat they were unaljle t() find, in any convenient form in English, a book telling of the Cathedrals cvi of the South which was at once accurate and comjlete. For the Cathedrals of that country are monuments not only of architecture and its history, but of the history of peoples, the psychology of the christianising and unifying of the barbarian and the Gallo-R oman, and many things besides, epitomised perhaps in the old words, the struggle between the world, the llesh, and the devil. In French, works on Cathedrals are numerous and exhaustive; but either so voluminous as to be unpractical except for the specialist as the volumes of iollct le Due, or so technical as to make each Cathedral seem one in an endless, monotonous procession, differing from tlie others onlv in sizi ,stvle, and age.
