"Normanism" is a word in ENGLISH
A Norman idiom; a custom or expression peculiar to the
Normans.
The values we rightly associate with the modern age - the "liberty, equality, and fraternity" of the French revolution - are all endangered today not by the dead hand of tradition but by modernity itself, and they can be salvaged only by moving beyond it.
