Agreeable News from Persia : Iran in the Colonial and Early Republican American Press, 1712-1848 Paperback / softback

Edited by D.T. Potts

Part of the Universal- und kulturhistorische Studien. Studies in Universal and Cultural History series

Paperback / softback

Description

Eighteenth and nineteenth century European, British and American newspapers constitute a rich and largely untapped source of contemporary, often eyewitness accounts of historical events and opinions concerning Iran from the late Safavid (1712) through the Qajar (c. 1797-1920) period. This study collects and annotates thousands of articles published in the Colonial and early Republican American newspapers, from the first mention of events in Persia in the American press (1712) to the death of Mohammad Shah (1848), unlocking for the first time a wealth of information on Iran and its place in the world during the 18th and early 19th century.
