“Love's Legacy focuses on aspects of Chateaubriand's life, character, and literary intelligence in the context of the times and customs in which he and his contemporaries lived -- it leads to an adventure as I sought to resolve a genealogical mystery related to my own ancestors.”
Daniel Fallon, Love’s Legacy Viscount Chateaubriand and the Irish Girl

“Perhaps the most remarkable fact abut the widely admired German university of the nineteenth century is that it had no clear precedent...It was an idea deriving force as much from reaction to intellectual chaos as from consolidation of intellectual growth.”
Daniel Fallon, The German University: A Heroic Ideal in Conflict with the Modern World
