Book Description
Julia Pardoe (December 4, 1806 - November 26, 1862), was an English poet, novelist, historian and traveller. She was born at Beverley, Yorkshire, and showed an early interest in literature. She became a prolific and versatile writer, producing in addition to her lively and well-written novels many books on travel, and others dealing with historical subjects. She was a keen observer, and her travel to the East gave her an accurate and deep knowledge of the peoples and manners of the East. To modern readers she is probably best known for her books on her travels in Turkey, which are some of the earliest works by a woman on this area. In 1836 she travelled to Constantinople with her father, Major Thomas Pardoe. This voyage inspired her book The City of the Sultan (1836). Later she collaborated with the artist William Henry Bartlett to produce The Beauties of the Bosphorus (1839), an illustrated account of Constantinople.

Book Description
Julia Pardoe (1804-62) was an English poet, novelist, historian, and traveller. Born in Beverley, Yorkshire, she was the second daughter of Major Thomas Pardoe who had served in the Peninsula campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars and fought at Waterloo. She began writing at an early age and published her first work, The Nun: A Poetical Romance, anonymously in 1824. Her first novel Lord Morcar of Hereward (1829) was also published anonymously. Like many others in the early 19th century she travelled south to benefit from the warmer climate and thus avoid tuberculosis, and her first travel book, Traits and Traditions of Portugal, was published in 1833. A trip to Turkey with her father inspired her best-known work, The City of the Sultan and Domestic Manners of the Turks, published in two volumes in 1837, in which she presents the Turkish upper-class with sympathy and humanity. Volume I offers the reader an insight into harem life, betrothal and marriage customs, religious practices, and many other aspects of the daily life of a well-to-do Turkish household, and is illustrated with engravings, the majority from her own drawings. The book became so popular that it was republished in 1838, 1845, and 1854, and was followed by The Beauties of the Bosphorus in 1838.
