This is the most important of my books, and the one by which I most hope to be remembered! Amelia B Edwards, 1877. A chance visit to Egypt in 1873 by Amelia B. Edwards changed the future of British Egyptology forever. Her travelogue, A Thousand Miles Up the Nile, would inspire generations after her to take up her message to support and promote Egyptian cultural heritage. While the way this is done has changed a lot, her legacy remains strong in the institutions she founded. This reprint unites previously unseen archival material with Amelia's famous text to bring her journey back to life. A new introduction reflecting on Amelia’s life and its legacy in Egyptology today provides much-needed context to the narrative - an essential companion to her text! The work is complimented by colour images of Edwards’s artwork, which have only previously been reproduced as black and white engravings. The new Introduction is by Carl Graves, Director of the Egypt Exploration Society, and Anna Garnett, Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology at UCL. "Finally, a chance to meet the real Amelia B. Edwards. A must buy for the introduction and cover alone!" Heba Abd El Gawad, Egyptologist

'If modern Egypt is so far away that it takes three weeks to get there, ancient Egypt is infinitely more distant.' So wrote novelist, journalist, traveller and Egyptologist Amelia Edwards (1831–92) in this, the last published work of her career. Having first travelled to Egypt in 1873, in 1889–90 Edwards was invited to lecture in the United States, campaigning for the Egypt Exploration Fund, of which she was joint honorary secretary. In five months she addressed 100,000 people at over 110 meetings in sixteen states. First published in 1892, a month before her death, this book is a collection of her lectures, containing substantial illustrations, additions, notes, and references. Exhibiting both Edwards' ability to make abstruse subjects come alive without losing factual correctness, and the humour and enthusiasm with which she recounted her experiences, this book marks the culmination of twenty years' research and exploration.
