Beschreibung

The History of Persian Empire presents the rise, organization, expansion, and decline of ancient Persia with the disciplined amplitude characteristic of nineteenth-century historical scholarship. Rawlinson's prose is lucid, documentary, and evaluative, moving between political narrative, dynastic chronology, military analysis, and descriptions of religion, administration, and court life. Set within the Victorian recovery of the ancient Near East, the work draws upon classical authorities, biblical traditions, and the newly significant evidence of inscriptions and archaeology. George Rawlinson (1812-1902), a distinguished Oxford scholar and historian, was exceptionally placed to write such a study. As Camden Professor of Ancient History and translator of Herodotus, he possessed deep familiarity with Greek accounts of Persia, while his connection to Sir Henry Rawlinson, pioneer of cuneiform decipherment, linked him to the era's most important advances in Oriental studies. His historical method reflects both classical training and the expanding evidentiary horizons of his age. This book is recommended to readers seeking a substantial, learned introduction to Persia as a world empire. Though shaped by its Victorian context, it remains valuable for its breadth, clarity, and ambition.
