In Bali in the Early Nineteenth Century, Helen Creese examines the
nature of the earliest sustained cross-cultural encounter between
the Balinese and the Dutch through the eyewitness accounts of
Pierre Dubois, the first colonial official to live in Bali. From
1828 to 1831, Dubois served as Civil Administrator to the Badung
court in southern Bali. He later recorded his Balinese experiences
for the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences in a series of
personal letters to an anonymous correspondent. This first
ethnography of Bali provides rich, perceptive descriptions of early
nineteenth-century Balinese politics, society, religion and
culture. The book includes a complete edition and translation of
Dubois' Legere Idee de Balie en 1830/Sketch of Bali in 1830.
