Traders & Nabobs: The British In Cawnpore 1765-1857
By Zoe Yalland
Published by Michael Russell: Norwich 1987 1st Edition
SIGNED by Author

" Traders and Nabobs: The British in Cawnpore, 1765-1857 by Zoë Yalland offers a detailed exploration of the British presence in Cawnpore (now Kanpur) during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book delves into the lives of British merchants, known as "traders," and the affluent officials, or "nabobs," who played pivotal roles in the city's development. Yalland examines how these individuals established commercial enterprises, navigated the complexities of colonial administration, and contributed to the socio-economic fabric of Cawnpore. Through meticulous research, the narrative sheds light on the challenges and triumphs faced by the British community in a rapidly evolving colonial landscape.

Yalland's work also addresses the broader historical context, including the interactions between the British and the local Indian population, and the events leading up to the Indian Rebellion of 1857. By focusing on personal accounts, official records, and contemporary writings, the book provides a nuanced perspective on the dynamics of colonial life in Cawnpore. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of British colonialism in India and the factors that influenced the course of its history in the region."
