AMERICAN HIEROGLYPHICS: The Symbol of the Egyptian Hieroglyphics in the American Renaissance
Egyptian hieroglyphics captured the imaginations of 19th-century American writers and provided a focal point for their speculations on the relationships between sign, symbol, language, and meaning. Through fresh readings of classic works by Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, and others, this examines the symbolic mode associated with the pictographs.
