Book Synopsis

Bringing together eighteen essays from Homa Katouzian, this book explores Iranian history, politics, culture, and Persian literature from mediaeval times through the nineteenth century and into the contemporary period.

Beginning with an overview of mediaeval Iranian history, the book then considers developments in the nineteenth century, leading to the Constitutional Revolution of 1906-1911 which resulted in the fall of the Qajar dynasty (1785-1925).

The book also includes essays on modern and classical Persian literature, encompassing Persian poetry and politics (1919-1925), the hitherto unstudied humour in Sadeq Hedayatâs life and works, a critical study of Forugh Farrokhzad, a study of Persian literary devices with special reference to the great Persian classic Saâdi, and a study of Saâdi as a lover of beauty and advoca
