    This book focuses on travelogues by Iranians traveling to Europe in the nineteenth century. It argues for an interpretive framework that moves away from an overemphasis on the destinations of travel (particularly in cases where the destination, such as Europe, signifies larger meanings such as modernity) and that historicizes the travelogue itself as a rhetorical text in the service of its origin’s concerns and developments. Within this framework, this book demonstrates the ways in which travel writings from Iran to Europe were used to position Qajar Iran (1794–1925) within a global context—that is, narration of travel to Europe was also narrating the power of the Qajar court even when political events were tipped against it—and relatedly, how both travel to Europe and also translations of travel narratives into Persian should be included in our understanding of the importance of geography and mapping to the Qajars, especially during the latter half of the nineteenth century. In this process, it also reexamines the notion that Iranian modernity was the chief outcome of Iranians traveling in and writing about Europe. Writing travel, making genre -- The reluctant tourist : Mirza Abul Hasan Khan and his "Book of wonder" -- Long day's journey into night : Mirza Fattah Khan Garmrudi's accounts of Europe -- The traveling king : Nasir al-Din Shah and his books of travel -- A dervish and a merchant walk into Europe : the popularization of travel of writing -- Conclusion.
