Dr Joanne Backhouse        

My lectures focus on the material culture of ancient Egypt, examining what the objects and archaeological remains can reveal about the people who made and utilised them. It is a game of detection and the clues are priceless.


For each online lecture series, a handbook will be provided with suggested readings. No prior knowledge is required, just an inquisitive mind.
The Zoom link will be sent out the day before the lecture and again on the morning of the session, as a reminder

Jo also lectures at the University of Liverpool and also occasional lectures

From Ancient Egypt to ‘Bridgerton’:
The influence of Thomas Hope’s ‘Grand Tour to Egypt
on Regency taste and style


Dr Gina Muskett 

* * April  - Date to be rearranged because of Bank Holidays * *


Thomas Hope is today renowned for his extensive ‘Grand Tour travels at the end of the 18th and 19h centuries, which encompassed not only Europe, but also Greece, Turkey and, most unusually, Egypt. During his travels not only acquired antiquities but also gained inspiration for his passion for interior decoration and design, whose innovations were extremely influential on Regency taste and style. In particular, Hope is renowned for his furniture designs in the style of Ancient Egypt, which he first popularised in the ‘Egyptian Room’ in his London home.
This talk will review surviving Ancient Egyptian objects originally collected by Thomas Hope, including those in local collections. In addition, it will explore the ways in which Thomas Hope’s visits to the monuments of Ancient Egypt, and the Ancient Egyptian objects he bought on his travels, contributed to his innovative decorative schemes and designs for pieces of furniture, as popular today as in the Regency period.
