Indeed the diplomatic career of Paul Claudel is totally anomalous. Who has heard before of a mystic-Vice Consul (New York, 1893; Boston, 1894), of a poet- Consul (Shanghai, Foochow, Tienstin, Prague, Frankfort-On-Main and Hamburg until 1914), finally who ever heard of an active play-wright† as Minister to Brazil (1916), to Denmark (1919) and finally Ambassador to Japan since 1921?
