Description and Table of Contents

Description

Few Western scholars of the Middle East have exerted such influence as Edward William Lane. His "An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians" remains as an authoritative study of Middle Eastern society. Lane's recently recovered and published "Description of Egypt" shows him as a pioneering Egyptologist as well as Orientalist.
