Description
Sir Richard Francis Burton was a British explorer and scholar. Several of his English translations of Eastern classics have become standards: (The Arabian Nights and The Kama Sutra, for example). For this reason it is especially sad that his translation of The Scented Garden has not survived. The sole manuscript of the Burton version of The Scented Garden was burned at his death by his wife Isabel, who feared for his reputation.
