Books by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall

This comprehensive treatment of Cleopatra and the political and social world in which she lived will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in Cleopatra or in ancient Egypt. Laying bare the "injustice, the adverse partiality, of the attitude assumed by classical authors," the author offers the reader a new, more balanced look at the life of one of history''s most important women. The book is divided into sections on Cleopatra and Caesar and Cleopatra and Antony and is supplemented by a number of maps and illustrations.

In this 1910 guide, writing 'from careful and prolonged personal observation and thought', Arthur Weigall (1880-1934) describes the less frequented ancient sites of Upper Egypt, beginning north of Thebes and descending to the Second Cataract and the Sudanese border, and including Elephantine, Philae and Abu Simbel.

This two-volume 1925 work by Arthur Weigall, who likens the writing of a history of Egypt to the piecing together of a jigsaw puzzle, presents a chronological narrative, at a level to satisfy both the scholar and the amateur. Volume 1 covers the first eleven dynasties.

This 1907 book on the monuments between the First Cataract and the Sudanese frontier arose from Weigall's work as inspector, and is intended as 'a preliminary description of monuments and ancient remains which require to be thoroughly studied', drawing attention to threats to ancient remains from neglect, plunder, and floods.

At one point a set designer, and then later a film critic, Arthur Weigall (1880-1934) is chiefly remembered as an Egyptologist. This 1923 work, written in response to surging public interest following the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, covers archaeological and historical subjects, with the tomb as its starting point.
