To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The foremost men of the eighteenth century despised Joan of Arc, whenever they had occasion to think of her, for the same reason that made them despise Gothic architecture.
" When,'' says Voltaire in one place, " the arts began to revive, they revived as Goths and Vandals ; what unhappily remains to us of the architecture and sculpture of these times is a fantastic com- poimd of rudeness and filigree." ^ Just so, even Turgot, while protesting how dear to every sensible heart were the Gothic bui...ldings destined to the use of the poor and the orphan, complained of the outrage done by their rude architecture to the delicacy of our sight.* Characters like Joan of Arc ranked in the same rude and fantastic order, and respect for them meant the respect for the Middle Age that was treason to the new time.
Men despised her, just as they despised the majesty and beauty of the great church at Rheims where she brought her work to a climax, or the lofty ^ Essai 8ur la Po^e ^pique. CBuoret, xiii. p.
