Despite changes in sovereignty and in religious thought, certain aspects of Iranian culture and identity have persisted since antiquity. This book examines the history of Iran from its ancient roots to the Islamic period, paying particular attention to pre-Islamic Persian religions and literature and their influence upon later Muslim practices and precepts in Iran.
