Bianca, or, The Young Spanish Maiden (1878) is a novel by Toru
Dutt. Published the year after her death at the age of 21, Bianca,
or, The Young Spanish Maiden is a heartfelt work of romance by a
pioneering figure in Indian history and Bengali literature. "A
funeral procession was winding slowly up the path; two mourners
followed the coffin; the church yard was in a lonely place; so
there were no half-curious, half-sympathising people following. It
was the daughter of Alonzo Garcia a foreign gentleman residing in
England, his eldest daughter and his most loved; the youngest was
by his side, Bianca." Inspired by her time in England, Toru Dutt
tells the story of a young girl mourning the loss of her beloved
sister Inez. Tragic and timeless, Bianca, or, The Young Spanish
Maiden investigates themes of faith, family, and courtship while
illuminating the experience of a young foreigner living in England.
Born in Calcutta to a family of Bengali Christians, Toru Dutt was
raised at the crossroads of English and Indian cultures. In
addition to her native Bengali, she became fluent in English,
French, and Sanskrit as a young girl, eventually writing novels and
poems in each language. Despite her limited body of work, Dutt's
legacy as a groundbreaking writer remains firm in India and around
the world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Toru Dutt's Bianca, or, The
Young Spanish Maiden is a classic work of Bengali literature
reimagined for modern readers.
