'If modern Egypt is so far away that it takes three weeks to get
there, ancient Egypt is infinitely more distant.' So wrote
novelist, journalist, traveller and Egyptologist Amelia Edwards
(1831-92) in this, the last published work of her career. Having
first travelled to Egypt in 1873, in 1889-90 Edwards was invited to
lecture in the United States, campaigning for the Egypt Exploration
Fund, of which she was joint honorary secretary. In five months she
addressed 100,000 people at over 110 meetings in sixteen states.
First published in 1892, a month before her death, this book is a
collection of her lectures, containing substantial illustrations,
additions, notes, and references. Exhibiting both Edwards' ability
to make abstruse subjects come alive without losing factual
correctness, and the humour and enthusiasm with which she recounted
her experiences, this book marks the culmination of twenty years'
research and exploration.
