Le genre dans la littérature égyptienne ancienne

By Nagwa Soliman

Gender in ancient Egyptian literature and women's portrait is an intriguing topic that is pursued in this book to attempt to identify the roots of the constant stereotyping of female roles in our society nowadays. The book is divided in two parts: The first part focuses on selected tales from the Ancient Egyptian Literature and it includes five chapters. The first chapter will give a brief history of Egyptology and will analyse the novella Maqaam Attiya (1986). The second chapter discusses the powerful evil female in ancient Egypt. The third analyses two ancient Egyptian tales namely, The Marvel which happened in the Time of King Nebka and The Tale of the Doomed Prince. The fourth reveals the different spheres of ancient Egyptian women and finally, the fifth analyses the ancient Egyptian tale titled Setne II. The second part reflects on the modern Egyptian woman with regards to gender stereotyping and also presents an article that compares between two novels one written by the Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif and the other written by the Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer. This book might be useful to literature instructors in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
