Nearly a hundred years since its publication, E. G. Browne's A
Literary History of Persia remains a classic work in English on the
subject. Spanning four volumes, it took Browne over 25 years to
write and whilst it concentrates on Persian literature, it surveys
many aspects of Persian culture from pre-history to the twentieth
century. Volume one covers the period from the earliest periods of
Persian history until Firdawsi (AD 935-1020) a highly revered poet.
Volume two looks at the early medieval period and in particular on
the poet Saadi (1184-1283). Volume three focuses on the Tartar
Dominion (1265-1502) and volume four 'Modern Times' covers from
1500 to 1924. A remarkable achievement upon first publication,
Cambridge University Press is pleased to be able to bring its
edition of this seminal work back into print.
