| Abstract: | Contacts between Clemenceau and England and the English between 1865 and 1920 are discussed, with special reference to a recent article by R. F. Hanks. The conclusion offered here is that Clemenceau developed his understanding of British political life principally through his friendship with Admiral Maxse and members of his family, who provided him with an entree into English political society. Aspects of the relationship between Clemenceau and the Maxse family can shed light on Anglo-French politics and Clemenceau's role. |
