520 8 $aAncient Egypt has always been a source of fascination to writers, artists and architects in the West. This book is the first study to address representations of Ancient Egypt in the modern imagination, breaking down conventional disciplinary boundaries between fields such as History, Classics, Art History,Fashion, Film, Archaeology, Egyptology, and Literature to furthera nuanced understanding of ancient Egypt in cultures stretching from the eighteenth century to the present day, emphasising how some of the various meanings of ancient Egypt to modern people have traversed time and media. Divided into three themes, the chapters scrutinise different aspects of the use of ancient Egyptin a variety of media, looking in particular at the ways in whichEgyptology as a discipline has influenced representations of Egypt, ancient Egypt's associations with death and mysticism, as well as connections between ancient Egypt and gendered power. Thediversity of this study aims to emphasise both the multiplicity and the patterning of popular responses to ancient Egypt, as wellas the longevity of this phenomenon and its relevance today.
