Reform and Legitimacy: The Egyptian Monarchy
1Note portant l’auteur*
2This paper proposes to examine the relationship between the way in which the khedivate was imagined and portrayed and the discourses of reform in the reign of the Khedive Tawfiq (1879-1892). It looks especially at a number of works which carry images of Tawfiq and the khedivial family in order to explore the changing and multiple meanings of khedivialism in this period. It makes no claims at being exhaustive, as this is an enormous topic given the proliferation, in particular, of constitutionalist and reformist journalism in the period leading up to the Urabi rebellion.

But Ismail accomplished this at tremendous expense—and it was only the beginning of his financial adventures.
Ismail succeeded Mohammed Said as the ruler of Egypt in 1863, when the American Civil War increased the demand for Egyptian cotton and when the expected profits from the soon to be completed Suez Canal made Egypt seem more prosperous than it actually was. In the euphoria of the 1860s Ismail dreamed of an Egyptian empire in northeast Africa and of Cairo as the Paris on the Nile. He borrowed heavily on Egypt's future and spent lavishly on explorations far up the Nile almost to Lake Victoria for the extension of Egyptian influence, on building many public works such as improved canals and new telegraph lines, and on the modernization o
