William Dalrymple writes narrative history and travel writing about India, the Middle East, empire and religious cultures. City of Djinns uses a year in Delhi to move through layers of the city's history, while From the Holy Mountain follows Eastern Christian communities across the Middle East. The Last Mughal reconstructs Delhi during the 1857 uprising around the court of Bahadur Shah Zafar, and The Anarchy examines the East India Company's rise to political power in India. Dalrymple's books are detailed, anecdotal and archive-rich, combining historical documents with strong sense of place. His work fits Indian history, travel writing, British imperial history and narrative non-fiction. Read more Less
