This book pays tribute to Cornelia Bodea, an esteemed academic, scholar, professor, teacher, and, most importantly, a dear friend and colleague to three generations of American and British students of Romanian history and culture. The studies included in this volume, aside from two contributions dedicated to Cornelia Bodea's work, are organized chronologically. They cover a wide range of topics, including an exploration of how Polish participants perceived Napoleon during his failed invasion of Russia, a study on the emergence of Albanian national consciousness, which also involved Romania, an insightful examination of Romania's portrayal in the classic eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, World War I, British cultural policy in Romania, post-World War II Romanian-American relations, and a study on the Transnistrian dispute. The breadth of these studies reflects the scope of Cornelia Bodea's own distinguished work, which delved into profound themes of Romanian national development, cultural history, and diplomatic history. She combined meticulous research and the refinement of seemingly inconspicuous yet significant details with the publication of valuable documentary and other resource materials. Regrettably, Cornelia Bodea passed away in 2010. Contributors to this volume include Dennis Deletant, Radu R. Florescu, Richard Frucht, Joseph Harrington, Ernest H. Latham, Jr., Paul E. Michelson, and Kurt W. Treptow.
