The Zenana V3: Or A Nuwab's Leisure Hours

By William B. Hockley and William Browne Hockley

Book Overview

The Zenana V3: Or A Nuwab's Leisure Hours is a book written by William B. Hockley. It is the third volume in the Zenana series and was published in the 19th century. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes that provide a glimpse into the lives of women in the Indian subcontinent during the time of British colonial rule. The term ""zenana"" refers to the secluded quarters of a household where women and children were kept separate from men. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of life in the zenana. The stories are told from the perspective of a fictional nuwab, or aristocrat, who spends his leisure hours listening to the tales of the women in his household. The book provides insight into the customs, traditions, and daily life of women in the zenana, including their relationships with each other, their families, and their husbands. It also explores themes such as love, jealousy, and betrayal. Overall, The Zenana V3: Or A Nuwab's Leisure Hours is a fascinating glimpse into a world that was largely hidden from public view during the colonial era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
