5.0 out of 5 stars
Sheds light on a great piece of world literature,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Epic & Sedition : The Case of Ferdowsis Shahnameh (Hardcover)
Davis shows that Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is not just a celebratory chronicle of Persian monarchy, but an examination of the relationship and duties between ruler and ruled. My first encounter with the Shahnameh was in high school where I was informed that the story of Rostam and Sohrab indicates an Iranian penchant for treachery. A Viking romance with essentially the same story somehow does not indicate the same for Norwegians.It is hoped that Epic & Sedition will bring more attention to this great piece of world literature or at the very least dispell some of the more extreme Orientalist analyses of the poem. |
