Given Rawlinson's background as a professor of ancient history, readers can expect a scholarly examination of the Phoenicians, highlighting their significance in the ancient world and their interactions with neighboring civilizations like Egypt and Greece. At the start of the book, the author dedicates his work to the University of Oxford and introduces the geographical and historical context of Phoenicia. The narrative begins by discussing the origin of the name "Phoenicia" and its geographical boundaries, as well as its natural features, including its coastal plains and mountain ranges. Rawlinson details the agricultural riches of the land, characterizing Phoenicia as a culturally rich and diverse region.
