Egypt in English poetry in the 19th century

The book "Egypt in 19th Century English Poetry," by its author Mohamed Anani, includes a collection of biographies in which English poets draw inspiration from ancient Egypt and the Nile River. Most of these poets are from the 19th century, although some lived into the 20th century. The primary source for the author was a book titled "A Broken Face," whose subtitle was "Poetry of the 19th Century" inspired by ancient Egypt. Anani removed some of the poems included in it and added others. The author explains the historical reason behind the idea of drawing inspiration from the Egyptian model in English poetry, clarifying that "the year 1798 occupied a prominent place in Egyptian history in particular, and in the lives of modern literature scholars in general, as it was the year Napoleon Bonaparte came to Egypt with the French campaign... which played a significant role in shedding light on what is called the 'Mysterious East,' in addition to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, which was deciphered by the French scholar Champollion. This discovery motivated the search for more of Egypt’s ancient civilization. After the allied countries succeeded in defeating Napoleon, poets represented the pursuit of the goal that people forgot in the struggle of empires, which is freedom. As the image of ancient Egypt began to spread to Europe, poets found in it symbols for everything they were striving for."
