My colonial background and birth in India; my schooling in English boarding schools and training in history at Oxford; my anthropological investigations in Nepal\, Japan and China; my interest in grand social theory and particularly in French commentators – Montaigne\, Voltaire\, Montesquieu\, Tocqueville\, Taine and Marc Bloch among others. And what are the peculiarities? Some outlined in”Understanding the English A-Z”\, and others\, which I will briefly sketch in\, in a sequel “The Peculiarity of the English” – Games\, Humour\, Class\, Education\, Empire and more. \nSociety Member Fabienne Bonnet\, the translator of “Understanding the English” will also talk about the process of translation of the book into French. \n \nFabienne’s background is St Thecle\, Chamalières (73)\, American Field Service scholar\, Waukesha WI.
