“This is the most important of my books, and the one by which I
most hope to be remembered – if I may hope to be remembered at
all!” Amelia B Edwards, 1877. A chance visit to Egypt in 1873 by
Amelia Edwards changed the future of British Egyptology forever.
Her travelogue, A Thousand Miles up the Nile, would inspire
generations to take up her cause to support and promote Egyptian
cultural heritage. This modern reprint is accompanied by a new
introduction by Carl Graves (the Egypt Exploration Society) and
Anna Garnett (The Petrie Museum, UCL) reflecting on Amelia’s life
and its legacy in Egyptology today. The original text is
complimented by colour images of Amelia’s artwork made during or
shortly after her travels, which have only previously been
reproduced as black and white engravings. This is no ordinary
reprint, but an essential companion to the best-seller.
