| Summary, etc. | This article examines the polarization of European representations of the Persian capital in the seventeenth century, focusing on certain discursive and metadiscursive devices mobilized by travel writing. While claiming to take a purely referential approach, most of these descriptions are in keeping with a long rhetorical tradition of the urban eulogy, often resorting to the idealizing topoi of the paradisiac city or of the locus amœnus. Some particularly disenchanted depictions, like that of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, are thus to be understood as challenging this intertextuality and as an attempt to deconstruct the sublimated image of Isfahan in the name of experience and faithfulness to reality. |
