Talinn Grigor is Professor of Art History at the University of California, Davis. She is the author of Building Iran: Modernism, Architecture, and National Heritage Under the Pahlavi Monarchs and Contemporary Iranian Art: From the Street to the Studio.
“The way Grigor creates a cohesive theoretical framework by drawing
on a combination of historical and architectural materials is
masterful. . . . Grigor’s work not only makes a contribution to
Persianate art history but reminds us of the necessity of
reevaluating the approach to global art history in contemporary
schools of art history.”—Mahroo Moosavi Architectural Histories
“This perceptive work contributes significantly to the global
understanding of architectural history. It weaves together
intricate narratives and profound insights with great finesse, adds
to the body of scholarship concerning the art and architectural
history of the Islamic world (which is still methodologically
‘feeling uncomfortable in the nineteenth century’), and creates a
road map for future investigations into the formation and reception
of architectural styles and historicism in West and South Asia in
the past two centuries.”—Nader Sayadi Journal of the Society of
Architectural Historians
“The Persian Revival is an original study that builds a strong case
for the transmission and deployment of knowledge across regions and
cultural realms. It does so for a hitherto uncharted period and
region—one that has not received adequate scholarly attention—and
makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on
global art and architectural histories of the long nineteenth
century.”—Madhuri Desai, author of Banaras Reconstructed:
Architecture and Sacred Space in a Hindu Holy City
“The Persian Revival is a finely wrought, insightful, and
successful contribution to the study of the reception of ancient
Iran in the modern world. Entirely original, it draws observations
from archives and from a wide range of literature and material
evidence.”—Christina Maranci, author of Medieval Armenian
Architecture: Constructions of Race and Nation
