Description
The Diary of a Civilian’s Wife in India is a remarkable historical document that offers an intimate glimpse into colonial life during the late 19th century. Spanning five years from 1877 to 1882, this two-volume set captures the daily experiences, observations, and reflections of a British woman living in India during the height of the British Raj.
Through detailed diary entries, readers encounter vivid descriptions of social gatherings, domestic life, cultural encounters, and the unique challenges faced by European women in the Indian subcontinent. The work provides invaluable primary source material for understanding colonial attitudes, gender roles, and cross-cultural interactions of the period.
This hardcover edition, published by Gyan Publishing House, is essential for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in Victorian-era colonial history. The intimate nature of diary entries offers a personal perspective often missing from official historical records, making it an important contribution to postcolonial studies and women’s history.
