Society and culture in Qajar Iran : studies in honor of Hafez Farmayan
"Society and Culture in Qajar Iran: Studies in Honor of Hafez Farmayan," edited by Elton L. Daniel and published by Mazda Publishers in 2002, is a scholarly compilation of essays dedicated to the Qajar period of Iranian history (1797–1925). This volume honors Hafez Farmayan, a pioneering historian who highlighted the significant social and cultural transformations during the Qajar era. The contributors, including Farmayan's students, colleagues, and friends, delve into various aspects of Qajar society, such as the establishment of the dynasty, innovations in education and the arts, the evolving status of women, and the influence of leading intellectual figures. Additionally, the book examines the role of travel—both by Iranians abroad and foreigners to Iran—in reshaping perceptions and contributing to cultural exchange. Through these essays, the volume offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic changes that characterized Qajar Iran
