Miss Eden's Letters (1919)

By Emily Eden

Book Overview

Miss Eden's Letters is a collection of personal letters written by Emily Eden, a British author and diplomat, during her travels in India in the 1830s. The letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the life and culture of colonial India, as seen through the eyes of a privileged and observant Englishwoman. Eden's letters are witty, charming, and often critical of the British administration in India. She writes about everything from the local customs and traditions to the politics of the day, and her observations are both insightful and entertaining. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the complex relationship between Britain and India during the colonial era. It is also a delightful read for anyone interested in travel writing or 19th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
