Emma Roberts

Born in 1794, she became known as an English travel writer and poet, often referred to in her own time as "Miss Emma Roberts." She spent several years connected to British India, and that experience shaped much of her writing.

Her books include travel sketches, poems, and tales, with works such as Scenes and Characteristics of Hindostan and Oriental Scenes, Sketches and Tales reflecting her strong interest in Indian landscapes, society, and everyday life. Contemporary readers valued her as a polished literary writer, and later scholars have continued to notice her role in bringing India before a British reading public.

She died in 1840. I couldn't confirm a reliable portrait image from the sources I found, so none is included here.
