About the author

Wilfred Scawen Blunt was born in Sussex and served in the Diplomatic Service from 1858 until 1870. In 1869 he married Annabella King-Noel, Byron's granddaughter.

Through his job Blunt travelled much in the East and interested himself in Egyptian and Indian political questions as a campaigner for liberation from British imperialism. Prose works such as The Future of Islam (1882), Ideas about India (1885), and The Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt (1907) clearly reflect his sympathies. He also became closely connected with Irish politics and spent some time for his pains in an Irish prison where he wrote his In Vinculis sonnets.

A collected edition of his poetical works was published in 1914, which contains amongst others The Love Sonnets of Proteus (1880), romantic poems mostly set in his beloved Sussex countryside.

Ah well now this is NOT the actual book read by me. I have some earlier versions of his work around which this has been reconstituted. SO that explains the date difference.
Having said this I thoroughly recommend the work to anyone interested in the history of the area, Arabian horses and their 'caste' system for classification. The Blunt's own Sheikh Obeyd Stud and the later intrusions and effects of AMOCO in the the region.
Other similar: Lady Anne's own writings and that of Carl Raswan 'Black Tents of Arabia'

This is a travelogue to The Arab desert in the mid 1800's. History of area and Bedouin's is superb. I read it for history and breeding of Arabian horses. It is an easy read, long, but I found it interesting, if sand can be interesting and camels swimming fun! It is over 150 years ago when Rurks were in charge....sort of Lawrence of Arabia times.
