An Indian Portfolio
"Emily Eden (1797-1869) was born into a prominent Whig family and grew up surrounded by an aristocratic inner circle of British social and political life. In 1835, her unmarried older brother, George, was appointed Governor-General of India. Unmarried herself, Emily was to be his consort during his six-year tenure. She travelled reluctantly, complaining bitterly and constantly about life in India.

This period produced a great surge in Emily's written and artistic ou...
Up the Country' Letters Written To Her Sister From The Upper Provinces Of India
"Up the Country" is a charming and witty travelogue written by way of Emily Eden, an outstanding English writer and sister of the Governor-General of India, Lord Auckland. The book chronicles her reviews and observations all through her travels via India, in particular in the northern regions of the usa throughout the 1830s. In "Up the Country," Emily Eden's storytelling style is marked by way of its humor, eager wit, and astute observations. She affords readers with a delightful and candid account of her interactions with an extensive range of humans, from colonial officials and Indian royalty to local residents and British expatriates. Through her enticing narrative, she gives a brilliant and insightful window into the social and political panorama of the time. While the book is lighthearted in its tone, it also delves into the complexities of British colonial rule in India, losing light at the challenges and absurdities of governance in a foreign land. Eden's work is not only a travelogue however a social statement that explores the interactions and cultural clashes between the British and the Indian populace.
George and Emily Eden
George and Emily Eden were a devoted sibling pair. Both unmarried, they were accepted as a mildly unconventional couple by friends in the dynastically conscious governing class. George (1784-1849) entered politics as a Whig to replace his elder brother, who had been groomed for success but drowned in the Thames off Westminster one January night in 1810. Four years later George inherited his father’s peerage as 2nd Baron Auckland. In 1835 he was appointed Governor-General of India, and Emily (1797-1869), although reluctant to leave her close friend, the Prime Minister Lord Melbourne, went with him. A witty and perceptive writer, who later published a distinctively voiced pair of novels, Emily chronicled the Indian period, as she did her entire adult life, in letters. Allen traces the development of her closeness to George, their interlocking private and public lives and the events that impacted on them, including the Afghan disaster of January 1842 and the mixture of blame and forbearance that George attracted at home. A poignant coda describes Emily’s final twenty years as Victorian invalid, author, and observer of the political scene.
