Originally published in 1870, The English Governess at the Siamese Court recounts the story of the five and a half years that Anna Leonowens, a young and adventurous Englishwoman, spent as a governess for the children of King Mongkut of Siam. Leonowens focuses on the fact that she and the King did not see eye to eye in the domestic sphere: for the first time in his life, he had met a woman who dared to contradict him, while she found the very idea of male domination intolerable. Eighty years after its first publication, Leonowens' account inspired the book and film, Anna and the King of Siam, and the musical, The King and I. The English Governess at the Siamese Court remains engaging as a story of adventure, fascinating as a picture of nineteenth-century Siam, and intriguing as an account of King Mongkut's private life.
