First published in 1866, Up the Country stands as a masterpiece of Anglo-Indian literature of enormous historical interest.

Emily Eden was born in 1797 into the charmed inner circle of the English upper class who conducted the country's political life. In 1836 this prominent member of Whig society joined her brother George in India where he was Governor-General. She stayed there for six years, during which time she embarked on a two-year-long tour of the country. With an unfailing eye for the eccentric and picturesque, Emily Eden describes in her delightful letters the extraordinary experiences encountered in life on the road in early eighteenth-century India.

Emily Eden (1879-1869), a committed Whig, political hostess and contemporary of Lord Melbourne, spent six years in India with her brother George on his appointment to Governer General of India.
