説明

No other period has seen more popularity of mummy fiction than the late Victorian and Edwardian era. What is remarkable is that quite a few mummy stories are set in the love romance genre. This is especially the case with works published from the 1880s to 1910s, when British political and imperial power prevailed in Egypt. The stories feature a male character falling in love with a perfectly preserved and fascinating female mummy. In other words, unlike current images of decaying grotesque mummies seeking revenge against those who disturbed their tombs, some mummies in fiction at the turn of the twentieth century were considered as beloved brides in both the literal and metaphorical sense. This paper examines these“ mummy brides” motifs found in several works of the period and consider their characteristics.
