Description

This volume of the British Egyptology series explores the phenomenon of Egyptomania during the nineteenth century, examining how public fascination with ancient Egypt captured the imagination of British society. As collections were visited, historical accounts were read, and artefacts emerged from archaeological discovery, Egypt's mysterious past became a powerful source of literary and cultural inspiration. The book investigates how fear of the unknown manifested in fictional works exploring ancient Egypt, contemporary Egypt, Egyptian artefacts, and the people who created them. Authors of the period grappled with questions about magical spells and the supernatural elements surrounding Egyptian civilisation, reflecting broader anxieties and desires that shaped Victorian intellectual life. This scholarly analysis traces the ebb and flow of public excitement and interest in Egyptology throughout the century, revealing how the ancient world was reimagined and reinterpreted through the lens of nineteenth-century British culture.
