Two Victorian Egypts of Herodotus
By 1830 the famous flashpoints of Napoleonic Egyptomania – the Battle of the Nile and acquisition of the Rosetta Stone – were remembered with pride as evocative tableau in Britain’s national narrative. However, they were recognized as belonging to a previous generation. The visions of Egypt (ancient and modern) that survived them were rarely flattering. Throughout the 1820s and early 1830s, most Britons who wrote about Egypt were dismissive at be…
Time, Space and Islands
Talk of disciplinary ‘turns’ is guaranteed, today, to draw groans and eye rolls. Despite the origins of this rhetoric in postmodern incredulity towards metanarratives, the ‘turn’ is often now taken to imply a singular temporality with strong strands of directional development, while, where temporalities are concerned, every discipline now demands contingency and heterogeneity. But the rhetoric surrounding spatial and temporal turns is worth atten…
The Ruins of Preservation
The rhetoric of preservation began to suffuse the archaeology of Egypt in the late nineteenth century. Amelia Edwards’ best-selling travel narrative, A Thousand Miles up the Nile , is sometimes considered to have instigated ‘modern’ attitudes to the preservation of Egyptian monuments. 1 In some ways this judgement is appropriate: unlike her pronouncements on race (shocking even by contemporary standards), Edwards’ attitudes to conservation can be…

Cities of God
The history of archaeology is generally told as the making of a secular discipline. In nineteenth-century Britain, however, archaeology was enmeshed with questions of biblical authority and so with religious as well as narrowly scholarly concerns. In unearthing the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean, travellers, archaeologists and their popularisers transformed thinking on the truth of Christianity and its place in modern cities. This happened a…

Religion and Science in Late Nineteenth-Century British Egyptology
The late nineteenth century is generally considered to be the period of Egyptology’s development into a scientific discipline. The names of Egyptologists of the last decades of the century, including William Flinders Petrie, are associated with scientific technique and objective interpretation as well as colonialist agendas. This article’s thesis is that rapid developments in scientific technique were largely driven by spiritual objectives rather…
