The Love of Strangers

- What Six Muslim Students Learned in Jane Austen's London

About The Love of Strangers

"Nile Green is one of our finest global historians. In this wonderfully insightful and entertaining book, his remarkable narrative skills are on full display as he illuminates the cross-cultural encounters of a group of Iranian students abroad in early-nineteenth-century London."--Pankaj Mishra, author of From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt against the West and the Remaking of Asia"Nile Green is among our foremost scholars of the East-West encounter in the nineteenth century, able to get us deeply inside Persian and Muslim culture of the era and to contextualize it in the age of European colonialism."--Juan Cole, author of The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation Is Changing the Middle East"The Love of Strangers is a pleasure to read. Green enables us to reconceptualize England during the late Georgian period of Jane Austen."--Michael H. Fisher, author of Migration: A World History"Erudite and highly readable. By taking the interactions between these Iranian students and their British contacts as they were experienced--as opposed to as we understand them today in our postcolonial frameworks--Green has managed to give life to nineteen-century England in a new and exciting way."--Naghmeh Sohrabi, author of Taken for Wonder: Nineteenth-Century Travel Accounts from Iran to Europe
