Diver, Maud [Katherine Helen Maud Marshall Diver The Singer Passes An Indian Tapestry Toronto/ Edinburgh and London The Ryerson Press/ William Blackwood First Canadian Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket "Maud Diver (September 9, 1867 to 1814. October 1945) was an Anglo-Indian author who wrote novels, short stories, biographies and journalistic piece. Diver was born as Katherine Helen Maud Marshall in Murree north in British India, the present Pakistan, where her father Charles Henry Tilson Marshall served as an officer in the British Indian Army. She grew up in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but was educated in England. She was the girlfriend lives with his sister to Rudyard Kipling, Trix Fleming. Maud married Thomas Diver (1860-1941), an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, about 1896, and they settled in England. They had a son. Maud Diver published her first novel, Captain Desmond, VC, in 1907. This and several subsequent books had success and were on the best seller lists. She was a romantic imperialist who was popular in their time, but largely was forgotten by posterity, as distinct from Kipling at the same time. She has in recent times been taken out again to study the Anglo-Indian culture she describes. Her novels took up in particular how English men should live in British India, and described including mixed marriages (for example in Lilamani) between Indian and English as a possible positive action that could bring East and West together. At the same time she took the standpoint that one should not take from British blood too much, as in Desmond's Daughter." Wikipedia Very good blue cloth. Some wear, bookseller stamp inside.
