Ward's Chartres provides a virtual tour, each chapter focusing on one aspect of the cathedral: Here we have the Royal Portal, now we walk down the nave, there the stained glass windows in their glory, here the South Transept ... -- largely an uninspiring account, for all the personal enthusiasm Ward clearly conveys. That said, there is a great deal of factual information here in an economical space, and the images (photographs, drawings, charts in the Folio Society edition) are invaluable.
If I was disappointed in the chapter on sacred geometry (elegant diagrams but a missed opportunity to invoke wonder), the chapter on "Interpreters" snuck up on me and became a favourite. Authors, not only novelists, who took the example of Chartres and infused their own texts with its magic and resonance. In particular I look forward to Huysmans. ( )
