About this book

Expeditions in Persia: Exploring Qajar Persia in two 19th-Century Diaries unveils the intricacies of 19th-century Persian expeditions through two complementary travelogues. The first account, with an anonymous author (attributed to Sir John Malcolm), offers a detailed diplomatic and historical perspective on the journey through Persia during an East India Company mission led by Sir John Malcolm. The second travelogue, written by Mirz-leh, an Iranian intellectual and later diplomat, chronicles a separate expedition commissioned by Sir William Ouseley, the brother of Sir Gore Ouseley. It enriches the narrative with vivid descriptions of Persia's societies, geography, and architecture, offering a deeply cultural and immersive experience. Together, these accounts weave a comprehensive and multifaceted portrait of early 19th-century Persia, blending Eastern and Western viewpoints to create a captivating exploration of the region's history, culture, and landscapes.
