The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology by Ian Shaw

The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology by Ian Shaw

The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology offers a comprehensive survey of the entire study of ancient Egypt, from prehistory through to the end of the Roman period. Authoritative yet accessible, and covering a wide range of topics, it is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and general readers alike.

The editors propose turning away from the 'navel-gazing about the past', asking new questions, changing the theoretical methods, and creating multidisciplinary collaborations! Accordingly, the handbook aims both to provide a survey of the entire study of ancient Egypt and to solve its current problems by offering a range of multidisciplinary perspectives on Egyptology* Ivana Petrovic, Greece & Rome *

Ian Shaw is Reader in Egyptian Archaeology at the University of Liverpool, as well as Visiting Professor in Egyptology at the Northeast Normal University in Changchun, China.

Elizabeth Bloxam is currently Visiting Professor in Egyptology at the Northeast Normal University in Changchun, China and has held an Honorary Research Associate post at University College London for the last ten years.
