Hardcover. Condition: New. As the title suggests, Curry & Rice is not a cookbook but a fictional work that focuses on the mofussils, or rural and provincial areas, of the pre-Partition Bengal Presidency. The book provides a rich portrayal of Bengal's social life, depicting the lives and customs of both native Indians and British… residents. Atkinson delves into the habits and social customs of the English in India while also offering insights into the practices and lives of Bengali society. Essentially, Curry & Rice is a fictionalized ethnography of the region, illustrated with paintings and accompanied by an introductory poem.

Add to basketCondition: Very Good. 1859. hardcover. First edition, embossed and decorated cloth binding worn, some of the cloth torn, front board loose. I title page lithographed sepia illustration + 39 sepia litho plates, foxing on most of them. Written immediately after the Sepoy Rebellion, the book satirizes and caricatures in a humorous…way British officials and residents in the fictional village of Kabaob in India, affectionately referred to by Atkinson as 'our station'. Native Indians were seen as treacherous and unchangeable following the rebellion. British colonialists distanced themselves from their subjects in an effort to preserve their 'Britishness' within the foreign space of India. Atkinson was a keen artist and drew all of the 40 plates in the book. Each plate is accompanied by a brief description. The work enjoyed a long period of popularity among the British following Atkinson's early death, in part because of the satirical nature of the work, but also because it presented a discerning view of colonial life in India. . . . .
