  • Product Description

    The Conquest of Assyria recounts the adventures of a group of unconventional people who, in the mid-nineteenth century, excavated the great cities and palaces of the Ancient Near East. Charting the early discoveries, this archaeological adventure is told in a series of close portraits of those involved.

    The lives and achievements of these people offer an unparalleled view of the intellectual and scientific establishment of the High Victorian period and the way in which the new discoveries were received. Based on substantial amounts of new research, this volume evokes the spirit of the age in an extremely lively and highly readable way.
