"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.

"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.

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.
