Yet seven years later, he was to return home, his viceroyalty in a shamble, only to be dispossessed of the prime-ministership he thought was rightfully his.\u003cbr\u003eWas this the result of some fatal flaw in his personality?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNayana Goradia examines the effect on Curzon on being continually feted throughout his childhood, first by his adoring mother, and then by his male teachers and fellow students. Though he later rose to every challenge, his narcissism was to pursue him throughout  adulthood with tragic results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reliable contribution to Anglo-Indian history. The deft handling of history and psychology makes it a very interesting book, a book that deserve to be widely read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Paperback Edition\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Victorian Scene\u003cbr\u003eKedleston Hall\u003cbr\u003eImagined Tormentors\u003cbr\u003eGolden Years at Wixenford and Eton\u003cbr\u003eEros Encountered\u003cbr\u003eOxford and politics\u003cbr\u003eTales of Travel\u003cbr\u003eGeorge and Mary\u003cbr\u003eFin de siecle India\u003cbr\u003e'We might as well be Monarchs'\u003cbr\u003eIn Princely India\u003cbr\u003eAn Imperialist and a Gentleman\u003cbr\u003eThe Giant Awakes\u003cbr\u003e'They Call Him Imperial George'\u003cbr\u003eA Fateful Appointment\u003cbr\u003eThe Partition of Bengal\u003cbr\u003eA Humiliating Retreat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eAncestry of Curzon of Kedleston\u003cbr\u003eNotes and References\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Nayana Goradia \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153731023216,"sku":"8352","price":27.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/8352.jpg?v=1793913288","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/lord-curzon-the-last-of-the-british-moghuls","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
