Very Good Condition. Dust jacket is fully intact, only lightly rubbed at edges. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Overall, very sound and presentable. Publisher's note: "This is a new edition of Fanny Parkes' account of her travels in India. The text gives insights into many aspects of middle-class British women's views on Indian life and includes descriptions of the Zenana and Indian domestic life, subjects often omitted from the male-authored travel texts. The text is accompanied by an introduction which aims to set 'Parkes' writing within its socio-historical and discursive context and which considers the theoretical problems which such a text poses for feminist post-colonial theory."--BOOK JACKET.
