Publisher's Synopsis
UNEARTHED resurrects eleven classic tales of the mummy, selected by John J. Johnston (Vice-Chair, Egypt Exploration Society) and Jared Shurin.
These stories date back to the middle of the 19th century, and many have not been republished for almost two hundred years. They have all been carefully edited and formatted to accurately represent their original publication quality.
UNEARTHED comes complete with "Going Forth by Night" (2013 BSFA finalist), a comprehensive introduction from John J. Johnston, outlining the complete pop cultural history of the mummy, from its first appearance in print to its latest on screen.
This volume is published in partnership with Egypt Exploration Society, the UK's oldest independent funder of archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt, dedicated to the promotion and understanding of ancient Egyptian history and culture.
