The nineteenth century saw an explosion of interest in Ancient Egypt, both in terms of the professionalisation of Egytian Archaeology, and in terms of popular appeal. This interest is reflected in this splendid collection of poems. There are some big names here - Byron, Shelley, Keats and Tennyson as well as more obscure writers and the poems range from a time when very little of Egypt's history was known, to highly detailed later nineteenth century poems which read more like verse excavation reports.
