Lucknow (New ed)

It was at the court of Lucknow, above all others in India, that the late Mogul civilization reached the zenith of its splendour and sophistication. "Lucknow", the work of the essayist, historian, and novelist Abdul Halim Sharar (1860-1926), describes the culture and way of life of the people of Lucknow during the 18th and 19th centuries.

It is a work that has long been recognized as the most authentic and circumstantial account of the subject in existence.
