By focusing on an archive of plays of Persia staged between 1561 and 1696 in conversation with Shakespeare's works, European peace proposals, legislative acts of toleration, and global traditions of hospitality found in Zoroastrianism, Islam, and the Judeo-Christian traditions, this book pioneers an interdisciplinary methodology, introduces Persianate conceptual lenses for literary analysis of English literature, and constructs capacities to imagine multiple globalities existing in early modernity through a spectrum of imagined and lived experiences on stage and on the ground.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheiba Kian Kaufman, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor of English, Saddleback College and Lecturer, University of California, Irvine\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSheiba Kian Kaufman is an Assistant Professor of English at Saddleback College and Lecturer at the University of California, Irvine.
