Following the devastating Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 1258, the domination of the
Abbasids declined leading to successor polities, chiefly among them the Ilkhanate
in Greater Iran, Iraq and the Caucasus. Iranian cultural identities were reinstated
within the lands that make up today's Iran, including the area of greater Khorasan.
The Persian language gained unprecedented currency over Arabic and new buildings and
manuscripts were produced for princely patrons with aspirations to don the Iranian
crown of kingship. 0This new volume in "The Idea of Iran" series follows the complexities
surrounding the cultural reinvention of Iran after the Mongol invasions, but the book
is unique capturing not only the effects of Mongol rule but also the period following
the collapse of Mongol-based Ilkhanid rule. By the mid-1330s the Ilkhanate in Iran
was succeeded by alternative models of authority and local Iranian dynasties. This
led to the proliferation of diverse and competing cultural, religious and political
practices but so far scholarship has neglected to produce an analysis of this multifaceted
history in any depth. Iran After the Mongols offers new and cutting-edge perspectives
on what happened. Analysing the fourteenth century in its own right, Sussan Babaie
and her fellow contributors capture the cultural complexity of an era that produced
some of the most luminous masterpieces in Persian literature and the most significant
new building work in Tabirz, Yazd, Herat and Shiraz. Featuring contributions by leading
scholars, this is a wide-ranging treatment of an under-researched period and the volume
will be essential reading for scholars of Iranian Studies and Middle Eastern History
