AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Weaving in scandals, broken marriages and political machinations to enthralling effect, The Last King of Bengal is the extraordinary portrait of a royal family's fall from power between 1840 and 1940. A family story that exposes the complex prejudices regarding class and race, work and family, religion and gender, at the heart of recent British and Indian history.' (Publication summary)

— Review of The Last Prince of Bengal : A Family’s Journey from an Indian Palace to the Australian Outback Lyn Innes , 2021 single work biography

'Lyn Innes, Emeritus Professor of Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent, is the great-granddaughter of the last Nawab of Bengal, Mansour Ali Khan. In this family memoir, she vividly brings the period to life through the stories of her antecedents, using both family history and source materials from the time, while giving a fascinating insight into the British Raj in India from the perspective of a local prince who was mistreated, and ultimately deposed, by the British authorities.'
