Esme Howard (1863-1939), 1st Baron Howard of Penrith, was one of
Britain's most important diplomats of the early part of this
century. Linguistically and diplomatically gifted, he was an
integral member of the small group of men who made and implemented
British foreign policy between 1900 and 1930, a critical
transitional period in Britain's history as a world power. The
years between 1890 and 1903, which preceded Howard's major
diplomatic achievements, are seen as crucial to his development,
years when his marriage, his conversion to Catholicism, his foreign
travel, and his work with London's working classes moulded the
confidence and strengths of his later character. Thereafter, the
book covers Howard's personal and historical importance as consul
general in Crete, Budapest and Berne and at the 1919 Paris Peace
Conference, and as ambassador at Madrid (1919-24) and Washington
(1924-30). Made possible by the recent discovery of Howard's
private papers, this well-informed and readable biography of a
hitherto neglected figure will eliminate a major gap in the history
of twentieth-century British foreign relations by giving Howard's
career its first full treatment.
