Description

Explore the complex historical relationship between Russia and Iran through the lens of the Great Game. This scholarly work from Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern History examines the accounts of Russian explorers and officials during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By analyzing their travelogues, the book provides a deep look into how these figures interacted with Iranian society. A key aspect of this study is the examination of Russia's own form of Orientalism. While many historical discussions suggest this phenomenon was exclusive to the West, this text demonstrates how Russian perspectives shaped their understanding of the region. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Middle Eastern history, imperial expansion, and the evolution of colonial thought. This book offers a unique perspective on how imperial interests and personal observations merged to create a specific historical narrative during a transformative era.
