A HISTORY OF THE EGYPT EXPLORATION SOCIETY,
By Robert (Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Excavating in Egypt: The Egypt Exploration Society, 1882-1982 (Paperback)
This collection of essays on the E.E.S., its history and excavations in Egypt, since its foundation by Amelia Edwards up-to 1982, is a most welcomed addition to the History of Egyptology and a "quarry" of information about those early, romantic times of British archaeology. Each contribution is due to the hand of a different, leading British scholar and the book is divided in succesive chapters - following the various places where E.E.S. excavated, beginning with "The Early Years" and ending with a note on the "Graeco-Roman Branch" of the society. There are testimonies of every kind: letters, reports, journals, etc. One can follow even the rivalry existing among professionals as how to excavate a site! Marvellous, a gift for your library!
