Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. First Edition. iv, 311 pages; Original owner's name and date on ffep "Mary J. Foster? / Derby Line / Vermont / Xmas '98", otherwise contents clean and tight in original decorative green cloth binding with gilt lettering and floral pattern in red and gold. Wonderful b&w illustrations by Townsend throughout. Sara Jeannette Duncan (1861 1922) was a Canadian author and journalist. After a brief period of teaching, Duncan got a job as a travelling writer for Canadian newspapers and wrote a column for The Globe, a Toronto paper. Afterward she wrote for the Washington Post where she also gained editorial experience. Duncan's column for The Globe, titled "Other People and I", was published under the pseudonym "Garth Grafton". According to her biographer Misao Dean: "her strongly defined progressive views on international copyright, women's suffrage, and realist fiction made her work remarkable in such conservative journals as the Globe and the Post". Duncan's first published book and her most successful is A Social Departure, which Warkentin describes as "cheerfully anecdotal . written with flair and self-conscious charm; it was written to sell, and sell it did". That book is a fictionalized account of her around-the-world travels with her friend and fellow journalist Lily Lewis of Montreal. Women did not travel alone in that era; so this trip was quite unconventional. Throughout their sojourn, both women filed stories to the Montreal Star. The book also contains the first description of the city of Vancouver in a work of fiction. According to Dean, the book "relies on the strengths of Duncan's journalism close observation, description of manners, and wry humour ." During a visit to India on this trip with Lewis, Duncan met Everard Charles Cotes, an Anglo-Indian civil servant, whom she soon married. Thenceforth, she divided her time between England and India, writing for various publications, eventually turning her hand to fiction. In the book offered here "The Simple Adventures of a Memsahib" (her fourth published), Sara Jeannette Duncan skillfully weaves a vibrant narrative that captures the nuanced experiences of a British woman living in colonial India. The novel, marked by its keen observations and engaging prose, employs a semi-autobiographical style that reflects both humor and pathos, effectively contrasting the exoticism of India with the mundane challenges of domestic life. Through the protagonist's eye, Duncan explores themes of cultural dislocation, identity, and the intricate interplay of empire and everyday existence, painting a rich tapestry of the British colonial experience that resonates with contemporary discussions on postcolonialism. Duncan, an accomplished journalist and novelist of her time, draws upon her own experiences as a memsahib in India, which served not only as the backdrop for her storytelling but also as a profound influence in shaping her perspectives on colonial life. Her interactions with both British and Indian cultures provide a unique lens to critically examine societal norms and personal relationships within an often rigid structure of colonialism. This compelling work is not only a fascinating character study but also an insightful critique of colonial attitudes. Altogether she wrote 22 works of fiction, many with international themes and settings.
