In recent years, they have also become the focus of extensive scholarship. Less familiar to both academics and the general public, however, are the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century precursors to the memsahibs of the Victorian and Edwardian era. Yet British women also visited and resided in India in this earlier period, witnessing first-hand the tumultuous, expansionist decades in which the East India Company established British control over the subcontinent. Some of these travellers produced highly regarded accounts of their experiences, thereby inaugurating a rich tradition of women's travel writing about India. In the process, they not only reported events and developments in the subcontinent, they also contributed to them, helping to shape opinion and policy on issues such as colonial rule, religion, and social reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new set in the Chawton Hou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnn Deane, \u003ci\u003eA Tour Through the Upper Provinces of Hindostan \u003c\/i\u003e(1823)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulia Maitland, \u003ci\u003eLetters from Madras \u003c\/i\u003e(1846)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditorial Notes \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49371828355415,"sku":"9781138202788","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138202788.jpg?v=1730154720","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/womens-travel-writings-in-india-17771854-9781138202788","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
