Book Description
About The Book

European scholars and statesmen writing on India have been studied from a wide variety of perspectives; a similar attention has eluded the writings by contemporary women authors. It is a well-documented fact that many English women came to India during the colonial period and have left interesting accounts of their residence on the sub-continent. The present work Social and Cultural Depictions of India-1700 to 1850 (The Memsahibs' Narrations) relies on writings of these women as invaluable sources in the understanding of the private/domestic domains; of narrations replete with rich descriptive details of the everyday lives of the women in the family/household; their views on gender issues; etc. as these women attempted to establish a microcosm of the family and environment corresponding back home on the distant and alien soil of India.
