Welcome to the Essential Novelists book series

We present to you the best works of remarkable authors. For this book, the literary critic August Nemo has chosen the two most important and meaningful novels of Sara Jeannette Duncan which are The Imperialist and An American Girl in London.

Duncan tended to identify as an Anglo-Indian, a somewhat marginalized group within the British Empire. Nine of her novels are set in India and most of her works are in the setting of Anglo-Indian society, of which she said, "there is such abundance of material ... it is full of such picturesque incidence, such tragic chance."
