Sh�ahn�amah and the presumptive authority of the West -- An epic's journey -- At home : the Sh�ahn�amah in New Persian -- A fierce fidelity: Ferdowsi and his archetype -- Why the Sh�ahn�amah -- The man in the myths -- The poet, the prince, and the language -- Epic unity : the case against underanalysis -- Sibling rivalry -- Killing demons, deposing kings : the Akv�an episode -- Of lusting and ousting -- Conclusion : Sh�ahn�amah and the tyranny of Eurocenterism.

Iran's national epic, the Shahnameh, is Persian culture's central text and is deeply connected to Iranians' sense of self.This book considers Western interpretations of the poem and argues that these interpretations are not only methodologically flawed, but reveal Westernconcerns and anxieties about Iran. Ultimately, Mahmoud Omidsalar reaches a radically different understanding of the history of the Shahnameh.
