Intimations of an Earlier Age
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter introduces the approaches to history during the New Kingdom, including a tour of Medinet Habu through the eyes of an ancient administrator, Amunmose. A survey of the intertextual universe of historical fiction includes a discussion of military literature, day-book texts, and other New Kingdom fictional tales. The definition of historical fiction as a genre is then presented, using the genre theories of Alastair Fowler and Mikhail Bakhtin; this discussion represents the first application of Bakhtin’s theory of the chronotope to ancient Egyptian literature. The physical media of the four works of historical fiction are examined—the hieratic papyri and their interesting use of different grammatical forms in the ancient Egyptian language.
