Title: Ancient Egyptian Kingship (Social, Economic, and Political Studies of the Middle East)
Description: This volume is the collaborative effort of several Egyptological scholars from the United States, Canada, Egypt and England. Each contribution is an investigation of a specific aspect of kingship in ancient Egypt and represents a particular area of expertise of that author. The first part of the book examines the nature of kingship and the role of the ruler. The second part focuses on the role of kingship and its characterization in particular periods. The last section of the volume consists of two studies on the concretization of royalty in architectural contexts.
