Traveller, Novelist and Egyptologist

This, the first biography of Amelia Edwards, sets her work as founder of the Egypt Exploration Society and writer of A Thousand Miles up the Nile in the context of her career as novelist and journalist. It traces her development from gifted child to adventurous and unconventional woman and describes her life as dedicated and reclusive worker in the cause of exploring and safeguarding the antiquities of Egypt. |
