Unearths a rich tradition of creative flexibility, collaboration
and mutual influence between literary culture and Egyptology The
first monograph study to bring literature into conversation with
Egyptological culture Incorporates a number of archival primary
sources which have, until now, escaped critical attention Analyses
canonical literature alongside works by lesser-known authors
Combines literary criticism with book history, the history of
science, and reception studies This book explores literary and
Egyptological cultures from the closing decades of the nineteenth
century to the opening decades of the twentieth, culminating in the
aftermath of the high-profile discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun
in 1922. Analysing the works of Egyptologists including Howard
Carter, Arthur Weigall and E. A. Wallis Budge alongside those of
their literary contemporaries such as H. Rider Haggard, Marie
Corelli and Oscar Wilde, it investigates the textual, cultural and
material exchanges between literature, Egyptology and visual and
material culture across this period.
