This project traces how archaeology shaped major late-Victorian and modern discussions: informing debates over shifting gender roles; facilitating the development of queer iconography and the recovery of silenced or neglected histories; inspiring artefactual forgery and transforming modern conceptions of authenticity; and helping writers and artists historicise the traumas of the First World War. Ultimately unearthing archaeology at the centre of these major discourses, this book simultaneously positions literary and artistic engagements with the archaeological imagination as forms of archaeological knowledge in themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: 'Our real life in tombs'\u003cbr\u003e1 Queer archaeologies\u003cbr\u003e2 Archaeology and Decadent prose\u003cbr\u003e3 Archaeology and authenticity\u003cbr\u003e4 Our real life in tombs: Great War archaeology\u003cbr\u003eCODA: Archaeology from a distance\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041027227991,"sku":"9781526161475","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526161475.jpg?v=1750948660","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/british-literature-and-archaeology-1880-1930-9781526161475","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
