Long before Montesquieu's Persian Letters, French intellectuals, diplomats and even ordinary Parisians were fascinated by Persia and eagerly consumed travel accounts, fairy tales, and the spectacle the Persian ambassador's visit to Paris and Versailles in 1715. Using diplomatic sources, fiction and printed and painted images, The Persian Mirror describes how the French came to see themselves in Safavid Persia. In doing so, it revises our notions of orientalism and the exotic and suggests that early modern Europeans had more nuanced responses to Asia than previously imagined. 505 0 $a Missionaries and travelers -- Persia : a courtly east in the French imaginaire -- Against all odds : the diplomatic mission of Pierre-Victor Michel to Persia, 1706-1708 -- The Persian embassy to France in 1715 : conflict and understanding -- Images of Mohammad Reza Beg : fashioning the ambassador -- Images of the Persian visit : connections between the Safavid and Bourbon crowns -- The absolutist mirror. 651 0 $a France $x Relations $z Iran. 651 0 $a Iran $x Relations $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Foreign relations $z Iran. 651 0 $a Iran $x Foreign relations $z France. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, French $z Iran $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Visits of state $z France $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y SÌ£afavid dynasty, 1501-1736. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Bourbons, 1589-1789. 650 0 $a Orientalism $z France $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Orientalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048139 650 7 $a SÌ£afavid Dynasty (Iran) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696767 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155743 650 7 $a Visits of state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167976 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 648 7 $a 1501-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707014201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49C2246C8E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
