"This is the most important of my books, and the one by which I most hope to be remembered - if I may hope to be remembered at all!" Amelia B Edwards, 1877. A chance visit to Egypt in 1873 by Amelia Edwards changed the future of British Egyptology forever. Her travelogue, A Thousand Miles up the Nile, would inspire generations to take up her cause to support and promote Egyptian cultural heritage. This modern reprint is accompanied by a new introduction by Carl Graves (the Egypt Exploration Society) and Anna Garnett (The Petrie Museum, UCL) reflecting on Amelia's life and its legacy in Egyptology today. The original text is complimented by colour images of Amelia's artwork made during or shortly after her travels, which have only previously been reproduced as black and white engravings. This is no ordinary reprint, but an essential companion to the best-seller.

Intrepid woman of the Victorian era writes a perceptive, witty and empathetic account of her travels, this time along the Nile. Empathy with local people and their difficult lives as well as sharply observed vignettes of both local people and fellow Europeans reflect what is still -often sadly- apparent to those of us lucky enough to at least have been to Egypt. Contributes to understanding that the history of European imperialism may underlie current upheavals.
