British Women Writers and the Reception of Ancient Egypt, 1840-1910

Imperialist Representations of Egyptian Women

Beschreibung

Focusing on British women writers' knowledge of ancient Egypt, Youngkin shows the oftentimes limited but pervasive representations of ancient Egyptian women in their written and visual works. Images of Hathor, Isis, and Cleopatra influenced how British writers such as George Eliot and Edith Cooper came to represent female emancipation.
