Description:"The English Woman in Egypt: Letters from Cairo" is a 1836 work by E. W. Lane. Following the success of his previous work "The Natural History of Aleppo" (1756), Lane travelled to Egypt again to do further research for another book. However, the fact that he was a man prevented him from viewing all aspects of society. To gain a complete view of his subject, he invited his sister to the country. The result was this volume, which delves into the side of life he was not privy to: the life of women. This book is highly recommended for those with an interest in Egyptian life the nineteenth century, particularly that of women. Contents include: "The Haunted House", "Climate in Egypt", "State of the Poor", "Respect Paid to the Mother of a Family", "The Wife", "Preparation of Food and Manner of Eating", "Eastern Etiquette", "Dinner Arrangements", "Sacredness of the Hareem, and Respect Paid to Females", "Usage of Marrying Without having seen the Future Wife", etc. Edward William Lane (1801 - 1876) was a British Orientalist, lexicographer, and translator. He is best known for his translation of "One Thousand and One Nights", which he famously censored in the light "Victorian morality". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
