)
54 editions published between 1926 and 2016 in English and Undetermined and held by 538 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
First published in 1926, then republished with extensive revisions in 1948, this remains one of the best introductions to Tagore's work. Thompson here attempts to undermine the Orientalist mythmaking about Tagore that began with Yeats. His book offers an informed discussion as well as an attractive display of Tagore's work

Up the country : letters written to her sister from the upper provinces of India by
Emily Eden(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1930 and 1997 in English and held by 172 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Raised in a politically-active household, Emily Eden's childhood prepared her well for her role as companion to her brother, the Governor-General of India. Outwardly all that a middle-class spinster should be, Eden never permitted diplomacy to dilute her letters home. Published in 1866, the letters provoked sympathy among women who had similarly endured dusty bonnets to accompany fathers and husbands to distant outposts of the British Empire. As one reviewer noted, this book is 'addressed primarily to a public consisting of wives, sisters, or daughters of possible Governors-General, and is sure therefore of general popularity'. There is still plenty to amuse modern audiences. Volume 1 takes readers from the packing of steamer trunks in London, through sea voyages and monsoons. Accounts of peacocks and pageants are balanced against ironic observations regarding domestic arrangements, all of which demonstrate Eden's skill as a sensitive and witty author
