Summary:"Zill al-Sultan was the notorious Qajar prince who ruled Isfahan, Iran's former capital during the Safavid era, as governor from 1874 to 1907. He is remembered as a Qajar anti-hero - even a villain - to this day, based largely on his apparent exercise of absolute power and pursuit of intrigue to further his own political interests." "Heidi A. Walcher has produced the first, extraordinarily important study which works both as a biography of one of the most colourful individuals in the history of modern Iran and as a study of the social and political circumstances of late nineteenth-century Iran in general and Isfahan in particular. She investigates the growing British and Russian interference in the country and the impact of these foreign interventions, not least among the clerical elite of Isfahan, which has always been a leading centre of Shi'ite theology in Iran, and among its mercantile classes. The rise of the Tobacco Protests in 1890-2, the constant trade wars against the British, the suspicions against the Jewish merchants, the persecution of local Babis and Bahais, the conflicts with European missionaries, ultimately the fall of Zill al-Sultan in 1 907 after 33 years of rule and the rise of the Bakhtiaris as the new ruling power in Isfahan - all these developments resulted from the pivotal role of the mullahs (and their collaboration with the merchants) led by Aga Najafi, who was the city's principal cleric and who, with his brothers, represented the militant and radical tendencies within Iran's Shi'ite establishment." "This book, tracing the history of late nineteenth-century Isfahan past the 1 906 Constitutional Revolution, is a major contribution to a proper understanding of modern Iran."--Jacket.…

Hardback. Condición: New. Zill al-Sultan was the notorious Qajar prince who ruled Isfahan, Iran's former capital during the Safavid era, as governor from 1874 to 1907. He is remembered as a Qajar anti-hero - even a villain - to this day, based largely on his apparent exercise of absolute power and pursuit of intrigue to further his own political interests. But late 19th-century Iran was a complex place: the Anglo-Russian great power rivalry, the assertive Shi'ite militancy of leading clerics, the growing power of the merchant classes, the entrenched and jealously guarded control of the landowners and tribal leaders, the halting attempts to reach out to modernity - all of these helped to create a climate of instability through which Zill al-Sultan navigated with almost Machiavellian skills and deft ruthlessness.
