Description
Henry & Self: An English Gentlewoman at the Edge of Empire is a personal account of a remarkable woman who lived through nearly a century of colonial history. At 33, Sarah Crease left her home in England to travel with her young family to Vancouver's Island and British Columbia, where she and her husband established themselves as settlers.
Through detailed journals, letters, and artwork created over the next half century, we gain insight into the private life and views of an English colonist. This is a woman's story in her own words, offering a unique perspective on the beliefs and motivations that shaped the era she lived in.
This book provides a rich window into the life of Sarah Crease, exploring how her class, social standing, and role as a settler influenced her relationships with the world around her. A fascinating and intimate portrait of privilege and struggle, scandal and accolade, Henry & Self is a valuable historical resource for those interested in the history of British Columbia and the experiences of women during this period.
