Iran from 1722-1979: political, social, economic and religious aspects of Iran.

This is an empirical study of just where in Victorian culture the ideology of imperialism left clear traces of itself. The well-written investigations bring to life how certain men thought about the British Empire between the 1830s and 1868.

This study of the Anglo-Iranian relationship analyses the opening up of the Karun trade, discussing the region's demography, commerce and industry before the Karun advent, and the impact of British political and commercial penetration.
