This book considers some of the Western interpretations of The Shahnameh - Iran's national epic, and argues that these interpretations are not only methodologically flawed, but are also more revealing of Western concerns and anxieties about Iran than they are about the Shahnameh.
Iran''s national epic, the Shahnameh, is Persian culture''s central text and is deeply connected to Iranians'' sense of self. This book considers Western interpretations of the poem and argues that those interpretations are not only methodologically flawed, but reveal more about Western concerns and anxieties about Iran than they do about the poem. Ultimately, Mahmoud Omidsalar reaches a radically different understanding of the history of the Shahnameh.
