My dissertation focuses on the Romantic period – the midpoint of this trajectory – because it is an extremely intense moment of this influence. In addition to the visions of Egypt presented in the Bible, Greco-Roman writers, and travel narratives, ancient Egypt reached American and British culture of the time through a variety of channels, such as (1) Napoleon‘s invasion of Egypt in 1798, which allowed a stream of Egyptian monuments to travel into Europe and America; (2) the deciphering of the hieroglyphics in 1822; (3) an Egyptian-inspired freemasonry, which wielded a major effect on political revolutions in the USA, France, and Haiti; and (4) revived interest in heterodox Alexandrian traditions such as alchemy, gnosticism, and hermeticism.

For some, it is any aspect of culture that is aimed at and appreciated by a large segment of a society. Some conceive of it as inherently unsophisticated, standing in opposition to higher forms of culture. Others consider it to be necessarily commercialized, and primarily existent to make money. Some have even referred to it as culture which reflects the genuine concerns and ideas of the general public. It is often associated with members of the lower classes, and its manifestations tend to be mass- produced. This collection specializes in items such as comic books, graphic novels, and science fiction, while also housing tabloid newspapers, cult magazines, realia, and more. Comic Books, 1964-current Pinpointing the precise origin of the comic book would prove a difficult task. Given the ambiguous definition of the medium (typically defined as a form of storytelling characterized by sequential images, often accompanied with text), precedents can be found throughout history. Examples of such include newspaper comic strips. However, the modern comic book is said to have begun in the United States in the early 1930s. From here, and especially following the success of Superman, first introduced in 1938, the medium has exploded in popularity and notable works have been published in Japan and Europe.
