Description: Power, Politics and Religion in Timurid Iran by Beatrice Forbes Manz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A comprehensive history of Iran in the early fifteenth century, under the Timurids, a Turkic dynasty of nomadic origin. Beatrice Forbes Manz gives a vivid portrait of society in court, city and countryside, and challenges much received wisdom concerning the relationship between government and society in the medieval Middle East. Publisher Description Beatrice Forbes Manz uses the history of Iran under the Timurid ruler Shahrukh (1409–1447) to analyse the relationship between government and society in the medieval Middle East. She provides a rich portrait of Iranian society over an exceptionally broad spectrum - the dynasty and its servitors, city elite and provincial rulers, and the religious classes, both ulama and Sufi. The work addresses two issues central to pre-modern Middle Eastern history: how a government without the monopoly of force controlled a heterogeneous society, and how a society with diffuse power structures remained stable over long periods. Written for an audience of students as well as scholars, this book provides a broad analysis of political dynamics in late medieval Iran and challenges much received wisdom about civil and military power, the relationship of government to society, and the interaction of religious figures with the ruling class. Author Biography Beatrice Forbes Manz is Associate Professor of History at Tufts University, Massachusetts. Her previous publications include The Rise and Fall of Tamerlane (1989) and, as editor, Studies on Chinese and Islamic Central Asia (1995).
