This book addresses some of the main themes of the study of Egypt
during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In a combination of
case studies and discursive chapters, the status of Egypt as an
important example of traditional Asian scholarship, and as an
ancient model of imperialism itself, is examined. Contributions
range from studies of nineteenth century antiquarianism, and the
collecting of Egyptian antiquities as an extension of the
territorial ambitions and rivalries of the European powers, to
explorations of how Egypt is understood and interpreted in
contemporary societies. Views of Ancient Egypt also considers the
way in which Ancient Egypt has been adopted by less privileged
members of some societies as a cultural icon of past greatness.
