A Companion to Ancient Egypt par Alan B. Lloyd

Delivered in a highly readable style and extensively illustrated, it offers unprecedented breadth and depth of coverage, giving full scope to the discussion of this incredible civilization. * Provides the very latest and, where relevant, well-illustrated accounts of the major aspects of Egypt?s ancient history and culture * Covers a broad scope of topics including physical context, history, economic and social mechanisms, language, literature, and the visual arts * Delivered in a highly readable style with students and scholars of both Egyptology and Graeco-Roman studies in mind * Provides a chronological table at the start of each volume to help readers orient chapters within the wider historical context… (plus d'informations)
This is a rather dry presentation of Egyptian social history. I think it brings out the limitations of the historical evidence more than anything else. For the general reader I recommend Trigger's later book, Understanding Early Civilizations, instead of this one.
Grote nadruk op feiten, weinig op individuele farao's (tenzij ze een nieuwe evolutie inzetten). De nadruk van het werk blijft toch liggen op de 'hogere' klassen: farao en zijn omgeving, het bestuur. Een gevolg van de beschikbare bronnen? Wat in elk geval duidelijk wordt, verrassend genoeg, is het gebrek aan degelijk archeologisch onderzoek in Egypte.
