"Une puissance musulmane"?(Notes & Comments: May 2005)
The novelist, historian, and essayist David Pryce-Jones does not make it into The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century English Literature, but he does make it into the current issue of The New Criterion with a charming review of Sybille Bedford's memoirs. (Evelyn Waugh thought Bedford's novel A Legacy (1956) was a "remarkable achievement" in which "everything is new, cool, witty, elegant"; Bedford, too, is omitted from the Cambridge History.) It is a testimony to Mr. Pryce-Jones's range of interests that he also has a long and penetrating essay in the May number of Commentary called "Jews, Arabs, and French Diplomacy." Based on extensive reading in the archives of the Quai d'Orsay--the French Foreign Ministry--this remarkable essay provides an overview of French dealings with Arabs and Jews from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It makes for melancholy reading. "The historical record" Mr. Pryce-Jones observes, "displays evidence of unremitting hostility to Jews, decade after decade."
