| Description: |
A highly regarded achievement, this illustrated two-volume overview of Persian history, society, geography and politics first appeared in 1892. |
| Synopsis: |
Following his election to Parliament, George Nathaniel Curzon (1859-1925) embarked on extensive travels and research in Asia, spending several months in Persia in 1889-90. Later viceroy of India, Curzon believed that growing Russian influence in Asia threatened Britain's interests, and that Persia was an important buffer state. Highly regarded upon publication in 1892, this illustrated two-volume work is a mix of history, geography, travel narrative, and social and political analysis. Intended to educate readers at home as to Persia's strategic significance, the work reflects its author's staunch support for British imperialism. Volume 1 describes Curzon's journey to Tehran, offering observations on the northern and western provinces, before giving an overview of Persian institutions. Volume 2 covers Curzon's travels from Tehran down to the Persian Gulf, commenting on the southern and eastern provinces. His Problems of the Far East (1894) is also reissued in this series. |
