The Rose and the Lotus; or, Home in England and Home in India by Elizabeth Johnston contrasts domestic life in Victorian England with that in colonial India, focusing especially on the lives of women. Through narrative and reflection, Johnston explores cultural differences, daily routines, and moral values. The work serves both as a travelogue and a commentary on empire, offering insights into gender roles, social norms, and missionary ideals from a British woman’s perspective in the 19th century.
