Sir Aurel Stein (1862-1943) is renowned for his breath-taking archaeological exploration in Chinese Central Asia, India, Iran, Iraq and Jordan, and for his pioneering work on the early civilizations on the "Silk Road". This book brings together over 100 articles and news items relating to Stein and his expeditions, as printed in "The Times" newspaper between 1901-1943, allowing us to follow his achievements as they were first announced in the most important broadsheet of the British empire. Presented in chronological order, they provide a unique narrative of Stein's career as perceived and understood by his contemporaries. Stein had friends all over the world and useful contacts at "The Times". But is there a story behind the publicity? Was Stein media hungry or publicity shy? This hidden context is explored in the introduction.
