Description
Up the Country is a collection of letters and journals written by Emily Eden to her sister between 1837 and 1839. During this time, her brother Lord Auckland embarked on a two-year journey from Calcutta to Shimla and back, covering a distance of over 4,200 kilometers.
Emily Eden's account provides a unique glimpse into the experiences of traveling continuously for two years in early eighteenth-century India. With an eye for the eccentric and picturesque, she describes the extraordinary events that unfolded during her time on the road.
This charming and insightful book offers a fascinating insight into life in India during this period, written by a member of England's upper class who was part of Whig society at the time.
