In the 1944 election he piled up a record majority from 3,000 miles away in Normandy-where he was a lieutenant colonel in Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal.

Examining Henry Adams' Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, Huizinga's Waning of the Middle Ages, Panofsky's Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism, and Southern's Making of the Middle Ages, Bourne finds that the first two historians tend to invoke a time-spirit to explain the relations between different aspects of medieval culture.
