Book and wrapper in great condition - Very scarce - 338 pg.    >>>  Philip Meadows Taylor's Confessions of a Thug (1839) is the most influential novel about India before Kipling's Kim and was one of the best-selling crime novels of the nineteenth century. In the course of a confession to a white 'sahib' the imprisoned Ameer Ali recounts his life as a devoted follower of Thuggee, a secret religious cult practising ritual mass murder and robbery. Taylor uncovered evidence of the crimes committed by bands of Thugs as a Superintendent of Police in India during the 1820s. Introducing a new standard of ethnographic realism to western fiction about India, Confessions of a Thug is a strikingly vivid, chilling and immensely readable thriller. This unique edition makes available a fascinating and significant work of Empire writing.   >>>   About the Publisher and series   -  The Doughty Library was named after Doughty Street in London, where Blonds publishing company was located - The series focused on British and American Victorian novels and reached at least 13 titles. The last titles were printed by 1968.
