Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

About this title

About the Author

Edward Granville Browne was educated at the University of Cambridge where he later taught and was instrumental in promoting oriental studies.

Review

"A large amount of information which is of the upmost value..." -- The London Times

"Browne labours to show that the Persian Revolution was no mere isolated phenomenon, but one form of a movement which is affecting Islam." -- Manchester Guardian

"In this account of Iran's Constitutional Revolution, British Orientalist Edward G. Browne portrays Persia as a nation oppressed by its leadership and foreign interests, struggling to establish a constitutional government. In the introduction to this reprint of the 1910 edition, Abbas Amanat writes that Browne's description is unique in that, amidst a time of imperialism and orientalism, it speaks sypathetically of a nation's aspirations to shape its own political system." -- Middle East Journal

"No history of events in Persia between the years 1905 and 1909 is ever likely to compete with this." -- The Spectator

"There can be no doubt of the permanent value of the book..." -- New York Times
