So many emotions seeing the architectural art of Achaemenid Susa at the Louvre in real life for the first time in years.
Even though I have written about it for years, I had somehow forgotten quite how awe-inspiring the scale and the beauty were.
Worrying: all my friends turn out what I expected them to be, and I am…hermetic magus www.theodramatist.com/early-modern...
Part of a special issue on Comparative Literature and Translation edited by my colleagues @hpartzsch.bsky.social and @drmirnasolic.bsky.social.
My essay 'Italo Pizzi’s Shahnameh: Oriental Studies, Comparison, and Translation at the Origins of the Italian Nation' is now live on @modlangopen.bsky.social !
It expands the origin story of Comparative/World Literature via Oriental Studies by looking at a forgotten Italian.

I was very happy to be part of this special issue on Julia's wonderful book, which I used as an opportunity to reflect on the broader history of Persian literature in Europe and the limits of viewing translation and literary history through a national lens.
Now online! A book forum collection on "Iran and French Orientalism: Persia in the Literary Culture of Nineteenth-Century France" (Tauris & Co, 2025) by @ritorneropoeta.bsky.social. In time the forum will emerge as a print issue - do see her thread on the contributions below ⤵️

It was so intellectually rewarding to work with @global-ih.bsky.social on a special section on my book! The essays by @paulbabinski.bsky.social and @drjoeford.bsky.social extended the reflection temporally, while @saraharens.bsky.social and Richard Hibbitt made me reflect on my critical method.
