Amelia B. Edwards

    Amelia Ann Blandford Edwards fu una romanziera, giornalista ed egittologa inglese, rinomata per i suoi romanzi meticolosamente ricercati. I suoi sforzi letterari si estesero alla scrittura di viaggio, in particolare nel narrare i suoi viaggi attraverso l'Egitto, dove sviluppò un profondo fascino. Testimone delle minacce ai monumenti antichi, divenne un'ardente sostenitrice della loro conservazione. Edwards co-fondò l'Egypt Exploration Fund e fece progredire significativamente il campo dell'egittologia attraverso le sue conferenze e pubblicazioni, lasciando infine le sue collezioni per sostenere ulteriori studi.

    • Amelia B. Edwards wrote this historical, egyptological, and cultural study in in 1877, and it became an immediate best-seller, reprinted in 1888 at home in England and abroad. She travelled throughout Egypt at a time when most women didn't leave home. One of the pioneering Egyptologists of the age, she established the Edwards Chair of Egyptology, occupied first by the great Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie. This book is in a sense a seminal work, known to have influenced the modern writings of Elizabeth Peters in her Amelia Peabody Emerson murder-mystery series. (Summary by Sibella Denton)

    • Tysiąc mil na falach Nilu, najpewniej i w naszym społeczeństwie odegrało istotną rolę w upowszechnianiu wiedzy o dawnym Egipcie, przygotowując grunt pod kolejną falę fascynacji krainą faraonów.. a pośrednio może nawet pod przyszłe sukcesy polskich archeologów nad Nilem.
