Description:
as Arthur's daughter, whom I have had the oportunity to describe as the French Lawrence of Arabia - id est not Arabia but Persia, not Great Britain but France (...), her research provides yet one link in Europe's cultural and intellectual history, as it illuminates this episode of translatio studii et imperii. From her father's reports from Persia to Tocqueville, between 1843 and 1859, to Diane his daughter and spouse to an officer at the Greek king Otho, it is this long chain of reasons which would indicate how French history or great narrative would assist in resuming diplomatic dialogue with IRI so as to disprove the ominous anagram: diplomacy as mad policy a bon entendeur salut et bonne lecture!
