The Literature of Ancient Egypt Résumé

The Literature of Ancient Egypt: An Anthology of Stories, Instructions, Stelae, Autobiographies, and Poetry William Kelley Simpson

The latest edition of this highly praised anthology of ancient Egyptian literature offers fresh translations of all the texts as well as some twenty-five new entries, including writings from the late literature of the Demotic period at the end of classical Egyptian history.

Praise for the earlier editions:

An elegant, easily readable, and most serviceable volume.-K. A. Kitchen, Journal of Near Eastern Studies

A reliable rendering of the Egyptian text that can be useful to students of Egyptology and provide the layman with delightful reading material.-Mordechai Gilula, Cultura

The Literature of Ancient Egypt Avis

A reliable rendering of the Egyptian text that can be useful to students of Egyptology and provide the layman with delightful reading material.-Mordechai Gilula, Cultura



One may rarely recommend a volume which gives both an enlightening and a reliable insight into an ancient civilization. In this volume of translations, however, the reader can understand and empathize with much of the vitality of ancient Egypt, in mental and social life rather than the familiar icons of monumental architecture.-South African Archaeological Bulletin

The scope of the material presented is varied and representative, and the names of the triad of translators constitute a warrant of quality.-J. Gwyn Griffiths, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology

Selected as an Outstanding title in the 2003 Association of American University Presses (AAUP) University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries
