Résumé

In "An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, " Edward William Lane offers a vivid and meticulous ethnographic study of life in 19th-century Egypt. Lane's literary style is marked by an insightful blend of observation and analysis, utilizing rich, descriptive language that brings to life the daily practices, social structures, and cultural nuances of Egyptian society. This seminal work emerged during a period of burgeoning Western interest in Eastern cultures, serving as both a travel narrative and a scholarly resource, deeply rooted in the author's experiences as a resident and scholar in Cairo.
