High Albania (1st ed. 1909; e-book re-edition 2017 without the illustrations!)
M. Edith Durham [Durham, M. Edith]
Mary Edith Durham (1863-1944) was a British traveller, artist and writer who became famous
for her anthropologist accounts of life in Albania in the early 20th century.
Educated privately, she developed a talent for illustration and watercolouring and attended the Royal Academy of Arts and Bedford College in London. She exhibited widely and contributed a number of detailed drawings to the amphibia and reptiles volume of the Cambridge
Natural History (1899). She worked in a variety of relief organisations, painted and wrote, and collected folklore and folk art. Her work was of genuine anthropological significance; she contributed frequently to the journal Man and became a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
Her writings, however, were to earn her particular fame. She wrote seven books on Balkan affairs, of which High Albania (1909) is the best known. It is still regarded as the pre-eminent guide to the customs and society of the highlands of northern Albania. Amongst her other works are:
Through the Lands of the Serb (1904),
The Burden of the Balkans (1905),
The Struggle for Scutari (1914) and
Twenty Years of Balkan Tangle (1920).
