Aeschylus, Character, and the Yoke of Necessity Mark Ringer Aeschylus, Character, and the Yoke of Necessity considers the works of Aeschylus in the context of the playwright’s handling of dramatic character and the conflict between freedom and compulsion. Aeschylus was an Athenian citizen during the first generation of that polis’s democratic system. As such, he and his contemporaries were encountering a kind of free agency unknown before in history. Aeschylus presents the archetype of the “tragedy of character” that will resonate throughout world literature. It is a fascinating and essential component to the conception of his drama that his protagonists each of the six plays find ways of escaping freedom in exchange for a self-imposed spiritual bondage. They “slip [their] necks into the yoke of necessity,” to borrow a pivotal line from the Agamemnon. Caught between their individual motives and the unavoidable necessity of their situation, each protagonist handles this conflict in a way that defines the specificity of their character and results in the development of the plot. This book also explores the frequently dominant position of the Aeschylean chorus.

Aristophanes: Women in the Assembly Erin K. Moodie, Purdue University, USA This is the first book for a general audience about Women in the Assembly (Ekklesiazousai), whose central themes – gender, politics, theatre – still resonate today. Fed up with Athens’ political dysfunction and involvement in yet another war against Sparta, the women of the city don ridiculous disguises and vote themselves into power. Under female leadership Athenian society is completely reorganized when both private property and marriage are abolished. What happens when a few citizens are slow to embrace the changes? Whose side was the audience on? The Athens that these women create has been interpreted in both utopian and near-dystopian terms, but Moodie argues that Aristophanes does indeed depict a utopia where everyone’s needs can be met. Bloomsbury Ancient Comedy Companions UK June 2026 • US June 2026 200 Pages • 10 bw illus PB 9781350378247 • £19.99 / $26.95 HB 9781350378209 • £70.00 / $95.00 ePDF 9781350378216 • £63.00 / $85.50 ePub 9781350378223 • £63.00 / $85.50 Bloomsbury Academic
With new analysis of pottery and figurines depicting Old Comedy, coupled with a thorough exploration of Aristophanes’ metatheatrical plot and its relation to his earlier fantastic comedies, Moodie reveals how the comic poet promotes the ideas of his female reformers and blunts the complaints of their critics as he urges collective action for the good of the city.

Lost Plays of Old Comedy Matthew C. Farmer, Haverford College, USA This is the first accessible volume exploring and analysing evidence for Greek Old Comedy through what remains only in the form of fragments of plays. Hundreds of comedies were written and performed in Athens during this period (roughly 486-386 BCE), but only eleven survive intact from this era; all eleven are by the same author, Aristophanes. We are fortunate, however, to possess a substantial trove of evidence about the many other plays written before and during Aristophanes’ career, in the form of what we call fragments: excerpts, summaries, and quotations preserved in later Greek authors, as well as scraps harvested from the Greek papyri of Egypt. These materials are difficult to read, but can wonderfully enrich our sense of what was possible on the Greek comic stage.

This book introduces readers to the nature of comic fragments, equipping them with methodological and interpretive tools to engage with this challenging but exciting material. It then presents a survey of important fragments in two parts: in part one, it reconstructs a set of three plays where the surviving material is sufficient to give us a broad sense of the plays’ content and staging; in part two, it charts a path beyond play-reconstruction by grouping fragments around key themes to build up a picture of the world created by the shared labour of the lost poets of Greek comedy.

The Classical Reception and Impact of Wonder Woman in Comics and Film Edited by Amanda Potter, University of Liverpool, UK, Natalie J. Swain, Acadia University, Canada & Connie Skibinski, University of Newcastle, Australia Employing a wide range of scholarly approaches, such as reception studies, feminist studies, racial studies and posthumanism studies, this volume examines the classical influence on the character of Wonder Woman. In particular, the contributors look at the cultural phenomenon of this female superhero across comic books and film. The result is an in-depth study that examines the influence ancient Greek mythology has on popular culture and, reversely, how modern media shapes contemporary views of the ancient Mediterranean world. Introduced to the world via Sensation Comics in 1941, Wonder Woman remains one of the most identifiable superheroes today, and her narratives that frequently involve love, inclusion and empathy continue to speak to readers and viewers

Playful Classics
Classical Reception as a Creative Process Edited by Juliette Harrisson, Newman University, UK, Martin Lindner, University of Göttingen, Germany & Luis Unceta Gómez, Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain This is the first book to deal exclusively with ludic interactions with classical antiquity – an understudied research area within classical reception studies – that can shed light on current processes of construction and appropriation of the Greco-Roman world. Classical antiquity has, for many years, been sold as a product and consumed in a wide variety of forms of entertainment. As a result, games, playing and playful experiences are a privileged space for the reception of antiquity. Through the medium of games, players, performers and audiences are put into direct contact with the classical past, and encouraged to experience it in a participative, creative and subjective fashion. IMAGINES – Classical Receptions in The chapters in this volume, written by scholars and practitioners, cover a variety of topics and cultural artefacts including the Visual and Performing Arts toys, board games and video games, as well as immersive experiences such as museums, theme parks and toga parties.

The contributors tackle contemporary ludic practices and several papers establish a dialogue between artists and scholars, contrasting and harmonising their different approaches to the role of playfulness. Other chapters explore the educational potential of these manifestations, or their mediating role in shaping our conceptions of ancient Greece and Rome. Altogether, this edited collection is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the ways we can play with antiquity.

Wole Soyinka
Tragic Classicism Adam Lecznar, University College London, UK This book presents a new way of looking at Wole Soyinka’s engagement with the classical past. Nigerian author and activist Wole Soyinka was the first Black African author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1986), and his oeuvre has become seminal to postcolonial literature. The frequent references to Greece and Rome that appear across Soyinka’s writings, most explicitly in his 1973 play The Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite, have often received short shrift in scholarship on the author. At best, these references have been understood as elements of Soyinka’s prodigiously inclusive humanism. At worst, Soyinka’s critics argue that the invocations of a Graeco-Roman past testify to the neocolonial cultural affinities that make Soyinka a problematic figure in postcolonial literary history.

Adam Lecznar challenges these readings, arguing that Soyinka’s authorial outlook is informed by a hybrid form of classicism in which he aligns the legacy of Greece and Rome with the African cultural heritage to form a narrative of literary and cultural value that looks beyond the ancient Mediterranean. This book turns a spotlight on how Soyinka's appeals to Greece and Rome inform his reflections on Africa’s ancient past, Yoruba belief, and the modern significance of tragedy. Lecznar contends that Soyinka’s notion of classicism is not solely dependent on the memory of the Graeco-Roman past. Rather, it draws innovatively on a global cultural heritage to advance revolutionary and futural narratives of history and identity.

The Persephone Myth in Young Adult Fiction From Girl to Woman
Cristina Salcedo González, Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain Investigating the widespread but understudied presence of the Persephone myth within 21st-century young adult literature, Cristina Salcedo González analyses six young adult novels which incorporate a reworking of this ancient Greek myth. Through the identification of mythic themes (‘mythemes’) and patterns within these novels, González shows that these works evoke the female life cycle and develop current perceptions of the female maturational experience. As a result, Salcedo González makes an important contribution in establishing the cultural significance of young adult literature in the world of classical reception. These novels, all written by women, also inflect or interpret the myth in ways influenced by their contemporary contexts, specifically the impact of the novels’ target readership on the aspects of the myth that are either emphasised (e.g. Persephone’s descent into the underworld; her existence there; and her re-ascent) or de-emphasised (e.g. Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception UK June 2026 • US June 2026 248 Pages HB 9781350401198 • £85.00 / $115.00 PB 9781350401235 • £28.99 / $39.95 ePDF 9781350401204 • £76.50 / $103.50 ePub 9781350401211 • £76.50 / $103.50 Bloomsbury Academic

This book makes original methodological contributions – through its innovative dual perspective of myth criticism and classical reception – to our understanding of the academically neglected genre of young adult literature and the reception of the myth of Persephone. As a result, Salcedo González significantly contributes to establishing the cultural significance of young adult literature within the realm of classical reception.

Leading Rome from a Distance, 300 BCE–37 CE Asserting Autocracy through Absence
Ralph Lange, Independent Scholar, Luxembourg Roman political leaders used distance from Rome as a key political tool to assert pre-eminence. Through the case studies of Caesar’s hegemony, Augustus’s autocracy, and Tiberius’s reign, this book examines how these figures’ experiences and manipulations of absence established a multipolar focus of political life centred less on the city of Rome, and more on the idea of a single leader. The Roman expansion over Italy and the Mediterranean put the political system under considerable stress, and eventually resulted in a dispersal of leadership and a decentralization of power.

influence and threatened to surpass them from the provinces. Roman leaders, from Sulla to Tiberius, used absence as a mechanism to act autonomously, but it came at the cost of losing influence and control at the centre. In order to hold influence while being split off from the decision-making powers of the geographical nucleus that was Rome, communication channels to mitigate necessary absences were developed during this period, such as travel, intermediate meetings, letters (propaganda writings) and a complex network of mediators, ultimately forming the circle from which the imperial court emerged. Absent leadership, as it developed throughout the Late Republic, a hitherto neglected issue, eventually became a valuable asset in the institutionalising process of the autocracy of Caesar, Augustus, and Tiberius.

Politics of Language
Foreign Nativeness and Identity in the Roman Empire Eleni Bozia Examining the identity and belonging of native and non-native speakers of Greek during the time of the High Roman Empire, Eleni Bozia closely studies grammarians, lexicographers and literary writers who used Attic Greek. Bozia argues that transculturalism and translingualism created a new space for both the naturalised and native citizenry. In the act of imitating, emulating and recreating Attic Greek, speakers formed a socio-politically distinct and nuanced mode of expression in the social echelons of the Roman world.

Cleophilus’ De coetu poetarum and Iustus Lipsius’ Somnium Dreaming of the Literary Tradition
Edited by Gesine Manuwald, University College London, UK & Cédric Scheidegger Laemmle, University of Basel, Switzerland Providing the first edited text, translation and commentary of two Renaissance dream-narrative satires, this edition sheds light on the period's literary history and reception of classical texts. Cleophilus' De coetu poetarum(first printed 1483–1485) and Iustus Lipsius' Somnium (first printed 1581) are both framed as dreams in which their authors encounter ancient authors and compare ancient literary works to the deplorable state of literature in their own times. They belong to a tradition of reflections on the characteristics of literature and the value attached to it over time, while also themselves imitating ancient poetic structures. Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series: Early Lipsius' Somnium, written in a mixture of prose and verse that characterises the so-called Menippean satire, has attracted Modern Texts and Anthologies much scholarly attention as a central text in the tradition of satirical dream narratives that held sway in Humanist circles from

By contrast, Cleophilus' elegiac poem has failed to make its mark in scholarship even though it was an important forerunner of this tradition and enjoyed widespread popularity at the time, contributing, among other things, to the impact of Dante’s Divine Comedy on Neo-Latin literature.

The Latin Poems of Christian Wedsted A Moravian in 18th-Century Pennsylvania
Aaron Palmore, Loyola University Maryland, USA On June 13, 1753 the Irene set sail from London to New York. One of her passengers was Christian Wedsted, a Moravian missionary headed to his post in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While many travelers would chronicle their transatlantic journeys, Wedsted chose to recount his in 200 lines of Latin poetry, imitating the preferred form of the ancient Roman poet Ovid. This poem is one of about forty-five Latin poems that Wedsted composed in Germany, England, and Pennsylvania, all of which are presented here together for the first time alongside translations into English. A critical introduction and commentary provide historical, literary, and religious context for Wedsted’s poetry, across an oeuvre containing birthday poems, impassioned religious verses, and personal anecdotes about life in colonial Pennsylvania. At around 1,200 lines, the Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series: Early poems make up one of the largest extant collections of 18th-century Latin poetry from the Americas.

Moravian piety is central to Wedsted’s identity, and he exchanges poems with important Moravian personalities, weaving together classical material and Christian material to create an original and unique project in colonial America. Many of the poems are experiments in genre that put ancient models and meters to work in new contexts. Half of the poems were written after his arrival in America, and as such they offer a rare window into life on the colonial frontier.

The Latin Poetry of Thomas Gray

Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity
Writing and Reading Environmental Disorder in Ancient Texts Edited by Esther Eidinow, University of Bristol, UK & Christopher Schliephake, Augsburg University, Germany How did ancient Greeks and Romans perceive their environments: did they see order or chaos, chance or control? And how do their views compare to modern perceptions? Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity challenges prevailing ideas that ancient perceptions of the non-human world rested on a profound belief in universal order, and that the cosmos was harmonious and under human control. Engaging with the concept of chaos in both its ancient and modern meanings, and focusing on the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, this book reveals another sense of environmental awareness, one that paid equal attention to chance and chaos, and the sometimes-fatal consequences of human interventions in nature.

The contributors consider the role of the human in the formation of perspectives about the natural world and explore themes of agency, affordances, ecophobia, gender and temporality. Overall, the volume reveals how, in ancient imaginations, environments were perceived as living entities with their own agency, and respondent (or even vulnerable) to human actions and decision-making. It highlights how modern insights can enrich our understanding of the past, and demonstrates the increasing relevance of ancient historical research for reflecting on current relations to the natural world.

Revenge, Punishment and Anger in Ancient Greek Justice Joe Whitchurch, Independent Scholar Anger was the engine of justice in the ancient Greek world. It drove quests for vengeance which resulted in a variety of consequences, often harmful not only for the relevant actors but also for the wider communities in which they lived. From as early as the seventh century BCE, Greek communities had developed more or less formal means of imposing restrictions on this behaviour in the form of courts. However, this did not necessarily mean a less angry or vengeful society so much as one where anger and revenge were subject to public sanction and sometimes put to public use. By the fifth and fourth centuries, the Athenian polis had developed a considerably more sophisticated system for the administration of justice, encompassing a variety of laws, courts, and procedures. In essence, the justice it meted out was UK April 2026 • US April 2026 288 Pages • 10 bw illus HB 9781350451544 • £90.00 / $120.00 PB 9781350451582 • £28.99 / $39.95 ePDF 9781350451551 • £81.00 / $108.00 ePub 9781350451568 • £81.00 / $108.00 Bloomsbury Academic
built on the same emotional foundations as that seen in Homer. Jurors gave licence to or restrained the anger of plaintiffs in private cases, and they punished according to the anger they themselves felt in public ones. The growing state in ancient Greek poleis did not bring about a transition away from angry private revenge to emotionless public punishment. Rather, anger came increasingly to move into the public sphere, the emotional driver of an early state that defended its community, and even itself, through its vengeful acts of punishment.

The Dynamics of Paratextuality in Late Antique Literature Stumbling Texts
Edited by Christian Guerra, University of Basel, Switzerland, Markus Kersten, University of Basel, Switzerland & AnnKathrin Stähle, University of Basel, Switzerland Through an examination of paratextuality in late antique literature, this collection of essays reconsiders the importance of the written material that appears in the margins of ancient poetic texts. Paratexts such as headings, prefaces, letters et al. have largely been skimmed over or completely disregarded in favour of the main ancient work. However, there is now a new wave of scholarship that takes into consideration the reading of books in line with the different ‘margins’, or ‘frames’, and the structures (de-)constructed by them. A salient feature of late antique poetry is the presence of the paratextual.

In keeping with its subject matter, this volume presents a multitude of approaches intended not only to look at, but rather to read and take seriously the paratextual material. The result is a reframing of our appreciation of the marginal matter, which has up until this point been overlooked.

Empires of the Southern Ocean
Early Civilizations of Mainland and Insular Southeast Asia Dougald J.W. O'Reilly, Australian National University Drawing on recent archaeological and historical research, this book presents the fascinating developments in the archaeology of prehistoric societies of mainland Southeast Asia. Empires of the Southern Ocean offers a sweeping and authoritative account of the emergence, expansion, and transformation of early state-level societies across the regions that today encompass Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Spanning from the late prehistoric period to the mid-15th century, the book traces the dynamic rise of polities that shaped Southeast Asia's early urban and political landscapes, including the Pyu and Pagan in Myanmar; the entrepôt settlements of peninsular Malaysia; Srivijaya, Sanjaya, and Majapahit in Indonesia; Funan, Chenla, UK April 2026 • US February 2026 416 Pages • 68 BW photos HB 9781538190203 • £130.00 / $175.00 PB 9781538190210 • £54.99 / $74.95 ePDF 9798216383123 • £49.49 / $67.45 ePub 9781538190227 • £49.49 / $67.45 Bloomsbury Academic

Drawing on the most current archaeological, epigraphic, and paleoenvironmental research, the book challenges outdated, India-centric narratives and instead presents a nuanced understanding of Southeast Asia's indigenous political developments, cross-cultural exchanges, and technological innovations. It highlights the region’s participation in longdistance trade networks across the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, and examines the role of religion, writing systems, and monumental architecture in legitimizing early power structures.

Aquileia
A Frontier Colony between the Mediterranean and Europe Jacopo Bonetto, University of Padova, Italy & Andrea Raffaele Ghiotto, University of Padova, Italy Aquileia is the largest archaeological site in Northern Italy, which once stood at the geo-political crossroad of cultural exchanges between Italy, the central-eastern Mediterranean and continental Europe. This book explores its beginnings as a Latin frontier colony which, over time, became a flourishing commercial center of a cosmopolitan nature. By the end of the imperial age, it once again became the gateway to Italy, reaffirming its strategic and military role at the time of the barbarian invasions and the spread of Christianity. The archaeological discoveries and results of scientific research made over the last 30 years offer the reader an accessible and engaging history of the site that has existed from the eighth century BC to the present day.

Disrupting Archaeology and Art
Excavation and Contemporary Painting Doug Bailey, San Francisco State University, USA & Simon Callery, Independent Scholar, UK There is a long history of interaction and collaboration between artist and archaeologist. However, recent provocative work in the field, studio, museum and gallery, has opened new possibilities for radical alliances and creations. Disrupting Archaeology and Art presents the work and conversation of an archaeologist and a contemporary painter who have moved into experimental territories beyond the traditional boundaries of their disciplines. This book presents detailed descriptions of six important works made by the authors. Doug Bailey’s aim is to change the ways that archaeologists engage with the materials of the past.

Simon Callery sets out to find new forms and functions for landscape-based painting. His contact paintings, pit paintings and large-scale sculptural work (Trench 10) produced in direct response to archaeological excavations in England and Wales, provoke significant debate over issues of time, image, and materiality. In Disrupting Archaeology and Art, Callery presents detailed accounts of how and why the excavation site has shaped his thinking and ambitions for contemporary painting.

Public Dialogues in Archaeology New Methodologies from Turkey
Isilay Gürsu, British Institute at Ankara, Turley Offering a study of archaeological heritage in Turkey, this book shows the alternative ways that the public relates to the past and its remains. Within the theoretical framework of public archaeology, Isilay Gürsu brings together the results of decade-long projects – based on quantitative and qualitative research – to show how communities interact with the archaeological past. Generally speaking, the public is viewed as an obstacle to be overcome by the experts and authorities, but Gürsu shows how local communities can be potential allies in the safeguarding of heritage assets. Furthermore, Public Dialogues in Archaeology challenges the notion that intellectual knowledge is a prerequisite for the appreciation of archaeological history, and presents an understanding of the past that works at a somatic, sensory and UK June 2026 • US June 2026 264 Pages • 60 bw illus PB 9781350547346 • £28.99 / $39.95 HB 9781350547308 • £85.00 / $115.00 ePDF 9781350547315 • £76.50 / $103.50 ePub 9781350547322 • £76.50 / $103.50 Bloomsbury Academic

Writing Matters
Italy in the First Millennium BCE Ruth Whitehouse, UCL Institute of Archaeology, University College London, UK The epigraphy of 1st-millennium-BCE Italy has been studied for many years, but these studies have largely concentrated on the languages encoded in the inscriptions and their semantic meanings. This book takes a more holistic approach that looks not only at content, but also the archaeological contexts of the inscriptions and the materiality of their 'supports': the artefacts and monuments on which the inscriptions occur. The first writing in Italy was not a local invention, but was introduced by the Phoenicians and Greeks in the 9th–8th centuries BCE. It was taken up by number of indigenous communities over the subsequent centuries to write their own languages, before these were eventually submerged by the spread of Latin.

Ruth Whitehouse explores what can be learned about how writing was used by these communities and what it meant to them. The bodies of data considered relate to Venetic and Raetic (the northeast), Lepontic (the northwest), Messapic (the southeast) and Etruscan (west central Italy, extending also into Campania in the south and the Po plain in the north). While not a comprehensive survey, there are enough different groups to allow a comparative approach to be adopted. Analysis of the datasets is able to reveal the similarities and differences between them, as well as identify features that were widespread in 1st-millennium-BCE Italy and others that were more idiosyncratic and specific to particular cultural groups.

Unruly Heritage
Archaeologies of the Anthropocene Edited by Bjørnar Julius Olsen, Arctic University of Norway, Norway, Stein Farstadvoll, The Arctic University of Norway, Norway & Geneviève Godin, The Arctic University of Norway, Norway Heritage is almost univocally conceived of as valuable and good, something we care for and preserve for ourselves and future generations. Although traditionally associated with the unique and monumental, heritage has over the last decades been broadened in response to claims to incorporate more diverse and globally representative legacies. While such claims are of course welcome, they do not embrace the bulging unruly and obnoxious legacies that now haunt us; legacies that have become so conspicuously manifest that they are claimed as diagnostic of a new epoch, the Anthropocene. This book targets this exclusion.

confined, wished for and thus worth saving, and the unruly legacies ignoring such work of purification, urges a reconsideration of strategies and rationales for how to ‘deal with’ heritage. Through multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from archaeology and heritage studies to philosophy and environmental politics, the contributions bring heritage into dialogue with a wide range of topics including industrialisation, material profusion, modernist architectural material, coastal reclamations, barbed wire, and naval mines. The result is a volume that profoundly challenges traditional understandings of heritage as an exclusive reserve of things selected and managed by us.

Puritanism, Smoking, Health, and the Archaeology of Bodily Care Diana DiPaolo Loren, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University Utilizing archaeological, archival, and visual sources, this book reconsiders tobacco and smoking in the 17thcentury Puritan colonies through the lens of religious beliefs and medical care. Indigenous to the Americas and cultivated by Indigenous people for thousands of years, tobacco was introduced to Europeans in the 16th century. By the early 17th century, tobacco was found all over the globe. Archaeological records document the popularity of smoking throughout 17th-century North America. In fact, tobacco pipes are ubiquitous in archaeological sites in the Atlantic East.

leisure activity, but in the 17th-century Puritan world, smoking tobacco was often prescribed to alleviate illnesses, as evidenced in the writings of physicians and ministers as well as pharmacopeia. In this book, the presence of white clay tobacco pipes found in the archaeological record of Puritan colonies receives further scrutiny. While laws in the Puritan colonies and the laws of Harvard College prohibited smoking as a form of licentious selfindulgence they did permit the medicinal use of smoking tobacco. When viewed through this lens, tobacco pipes can be viewed as an item of bodily care that addresses physical and metaphysical ailments.

The Application of GIS Technologies in the Roman Period Spatial Analysis, Historic Modelling and Reconstructions Pedro Trapero Fernández, University of Cadiz, Spain Using a selection of archaeological cases studies from the Roman period in the Mediterranean region, Pedro Trapero Fernández shows how GIS technologies can be employed in the creation of spatial models to reproduce historical realities. An increasing number of researchers use this digital humanities tool as a means to model both territory and landscape. This book compiles different spatial models under a unified methodology described in separated chapters, such as mobility and visibility models, and discusses their limitations and potential for implementation in archaeological contexts.

The Transmission of the Book of the Dead in New Kingdom Tombs at Saqqara H.P.R. Twiston Davies, University of Manchester, UK Texts and images from the Book of the Dead were widely used to decorate the walls of tombs during Egypt’s New Kingdom (c. 1550-1077 BCE). Prior research has tended to focus on either individual tombs, or on the contents of papyrus copies of the Book of the Dead. This open access book focusses on the adaptation of parts of this funerary corpus in individual tombs from the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara, with the aim of showing how each tomb’s decoration was tailored to the ends of their builders. In doing so, it builds up a picture of the ways in which these developments changed over time, and captures the dynamic and shifting ways in which ancient Egyptians interacted with their funerary texts. This contrasts with the popular image of Egyptian religion as centrally administered and directed, and essentially unchanging over millennia. In fact, choices and forms of texts and images used in tombs changed even within a single generation. Some forms remained popular over long periods, being constantly reused and re-adapted, while others achieved specific and local popularity, or else were abandoned after only a short period of time. This book argues powerfully for the human dimension in ancient Egyptian religion, revealing the ways in which individuals and groups continually reshaped their tradition even as they Bloomsbury Egyptology UK June 2026 • US June 2026 256 Pages • 41 bw and 6 colour illus HB 9781350350571 • £85.00 / $115.00 PB 9781350350588 • £28.99 / $39.95 ePDF 9781350350595 • £0.00 / $0.00 ePub 9781350350601 • £0.00 / $0.00 Bloomsbury Academic
