Beskrivning
From the ninth to the nineteenth centuries, Persian was the pre-eminent language of learning far beyond Iran, stretching from the Balkans to China. In this book, Alexander Jabbari explores what became of this vast Persian literary heritage in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Iran and South Asia, as nationalism took hold and the Persianate world fractured into nation-states. He shows how Iranians and South Asians drew from their shared past to produce a 'Persianate modernity', and create a modern genre, literary history. Drawing from both Persian and Urdu sources, Jabbari reveals the important role that South Asian Muslims played in developing Iranian intellectual and literary trends. Highlighting cultural exchange in the region, and the agency of Asian modernizers, Jabbari charts a new way forward for area studies and opens exciting possibilities for thinking about language and literature.

Recensioner i media

'In an engaging and accessible, yet analytically exact style, Jabbari explores crucial shifts in the development of literary history, revealing changing conceptions of social collective, history, and sexuality in the age of print nationalism. At the heart of this untold story is the tension between a transregional endeavor to fashion modern concepts and texts out of the Persianate past, while also claiming unique, divergent national contexts.'
