Eden, Emily (1797–1869), accompanied her brother to India in 1835, when he became governor-general. She published Portraits of the People and Princes of India (1844), Up the Country (1866), and Letters from India (1872). Her two novels The Semi-detached House (1859, anon.) and The Semi-attached Couple (1860, by ‘E.E.’) are a valuable record of social life, shedding a revealing light on attitudes to marriage, politics, and manners.
