Sir Alan H. Gardiner fu un eminente egittologo il cui lavoro fece progredire significativamente lo studio dei geroglifici dell'Antico Egitto. Sviluppò una precoce passione per l'egittologia, influenzato da studiosi come Gaston Maspero, e affinò le sue capacità linguistiche e filologiche attraverso una rigorosa formazione accademica. I suoi contributi fondamentali offrono profonde intuizioni sulla lingua e la civiltà dell'Antico Egitto, consolidando la sua eredità di maestro del campo.




Alan Gardiner sets the poet and his age in their context and provides an accessible commentary on "lyrical ballads", the early poems, the poems from 1800 to 1807, "the prelude", later poetry, and devotes chapters to Wordsworth's principal themes, his style and to "the poet as critic".
Although the first edition of the study appeared over seventy years ago, Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar remains the most comprehensive presentation of Middle Egyptian available, and is still an essential reference tool for all advanced work in the language. The latest, third, edition, appeared in 1957 and is now in its tenth reprinting. After each new element of grammar the learner is given a set of exercises, and the book also contains useful resources such as a list of hieroglyphic signs and information about the development of the language.
