The Persian Mirror: Reflections of the Safavid Empire in Early Modern France
Mokhberi, Susan (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Rutgers-Camden University)
This exploration of France's preoccupation with Persia in the seventeenth century uses diplomatic sources, fiction and images to describe how the French came to see themselves in Safavid Persia. It revises our notions of orientalism and suggests that early modern Europeans had more nuanced responses to Asia than previously imagined.
