Autor

Edward Hamilton Aitken (1851–1909), also known by the pseudonym EHA, was a Scottish-born civil servant in India, whose literary work largely reflects his love for the natural world. Aitken spent much of his professional life under the employ of the British Empire within India's customs department, which facilitated his opportunity to observe and write about the region's flora and fauna with wit and scholarship. His literary style combines humor with keen observation, making his nature writings both informative and entertaining. Among his publications, 'Concerning Animals and Other Matters' stands out as a prime example of his ability to weave scientific information with personal anecdotes, reflecting on the behaviors and characteristics of various animals Aitken encountered in India. His work remains a touchstone for colonial-period nature writing and is valuable to both literary enthusiasts and naturalists for its vivid recounting of Indian wildlife at the turn of the century. Posthumously, Aitken's writings continue to be appreciated for their detailed descriptive quality and his contribution to early environmental literature.
