Lady Isabel Burton (1831 96) was a distinguished nineteenth-century
traveller, writer and critic. She and her husband Richard explored
the Middle East, India, Africa and South America extensively during
his diplomatic placements and for their own pleasure. Individually
and collaboratively they produced several exquisitely detailed
travelogues, recording custom, culture, politics and geography.
This account of their travels, first published in 1879, details the
Burtons' leisurely route to India through Europe before crossing
the Mediterranean and continuing south through Egypt and the
Arabian Peninsula. This skilful and humorous narrative brings the
places and people to life through personal anecdotes, observations
and colourful description. Burton's political and historical
comments on the lands she travels through are reasoned,
well-researched and afford valuable insight into public opinion and
world affairs at this time.
