Description
Up The Country is a remarkable historical document consisting of personal letters written by Emily Eden to her sister while residing in the upper provinces of India. Originally penned during the 1830s and 1840s, these letters provide an invaluable firsthand account of life during the British colonial period in India.
Eden’s correspondence captures vivid descriptions of landscapes, encounters with local populations, social customs, and the experiences of British expatriates in India. Her keen observations and witty commentary offer readers a unique female perspective on colonial society, politics, and daily life that was uncommon for the era.
This two-volume hardcover set presents a comprehensive collection of Eden’s correspondence, preserved by Gyan Publishing House. The letters serve as both personal memoirs and historical records, documenting the complexities of the British Raj through the eyes of an intelligent and observant woman who held a privileged position within colonial administration.
