Opis

The wife of Field Marshal Sir George Nugent (1757-1849), Lady Nugent could travel extensively and meticulously observed the ways the British imagined themselves in the Empire. Her journal, a significant historical treatise of that time, provides an insider's account of the varying notions of citizenships established by the British hegemony. Her extensive descriptions of personalities like Sarah Siddons or to events in the period add resonance to the narrative, and will be useful to scholars of colonial modernity studies, travel writing, and the gendered nature of the colonial scene. The journal itself with its detailed account of the voyage, the descriptions of life in India, and the life of a British woman in the midst of the business of running the Empire is written in a chatty, intimate tone, with anecdotes and sketches of individual Indian and British men and women.
