Alfred Cobban (1901–1968) Professor of French History, University College, London |
From page 176 of the book: "...I was alone in the back yard, sitting between two kerosine lamps, reading Cobban's History of Modern France and fantasizing about the strange, romantic attachment I had to my mother's country."
