David Gange is Lecturer in History at the University of Birmingham.
Dialogues with the Dead must be praised for promoting an inclusive
and integrated history of British Egyptology ... It is an academic
study that presents meticulous research in an accessible and
engaging style, contributing many fresh and new insights to the
subject ... essential reading for historians of the nineteenth
century, as well as those with an interest in the history of
Egyptology and Near Eastern archaeology, archaeological reception
and representation.
