This volume shows the progress and achievements of Iran up to the 1940s within the setting of her ancient history and her strategic position in the world today. The author discusses Iran's vital position as the dividing line between the East and the West and how Iran drew from and contributed to both these cultures, without losing her own individuality. It is this cultural influence, the author argues, rather than any political strength that has enabled her to survive. Much of the information is taken from sources not available in English or any other language other than Persian.
Khayyam has been the subject of speculation on the part of
literary critics ever since Edward Fitzgerald published his own
version of the Rubaiyat in 1859. This edition represented the first
opportunity to study in English the work of Khayyam by a Persian
scholar.
