Description

Shahnama Studies III explores the rich reception history of the Shahnama, the monumental Persian epic composed by Firdausi in the 10th-11th century in eastern Iran. This volume, part of the Studies in Persian Cultural History series, brings together scholarly perspectives on how this foundational work has been interpreted, adapted and valued across centuries and cultures. Edited by leading experts Gabrielle van den Berg, Senior University Lecturer in Cultural History of Central Asia and Iran at Leiden University, and Charles Melville, Professor of Persian History at Cambridge University, the book combines rigorous academic analysis with accessible insights into one of world literature's most significant texts. Ideal for students and scholars of Persian literature, Islamic history and cultural studies seeking to understand the Shahnama's enduring influence on Persian civilisation and beyond.
