In Society and Death in Ancient Egypt, Janet Richards considers
social stratification in Middle Kingdom Egypt, taking as the point
of departure the assumption that a 'middle class' arose during this
period. By focusing on the entire range of mortuary behavior,
rather than on elite remains, she shows how social and political
processes can be reconstructed. Richards demonstrates that the
roots of the middle class can be traced to the later Old Kingdom
and First Intermediate Period. Combining information from
excavations, ancient Egyptian texts, and decorative reliefs and
statuary, the book weaves together a wide variety of sources that
aid us in understanding how Middle Kingdom Egyptians thought about
society and death and how their practices and landscapes relating
to death reveal information about the living society.
