説明

This paper uses The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London (JRGSL) to ascertain Western geographical knowledge and discourse about Iran in the mid-19th century. The Royal Geographical Society of London was founded in 1830 to research and explore regions unknown to Europeans. The first question this paper seeks to answer is who authored articles concerning Iran in The Journal in the 1830s and 1840s. The second question dealt with is the academic level of these papers. Analysis indicated that most of the authors were officers in the East India Company (E.I.C.) army who lived in Iran for several years and traveled to remote districts of the country to collect hard data in the field. During their marches or travels, they described their everyday observations in their journals. Articles by the same authors in the JRGSL were somewhat similar in style because they extracted from their journals but did not offer analysis. However, the number of authors who were not officers or agents of the E.I.C. continued to increase, and the style of articles changed after Vol. XI. The main purpose of articles by these new authors was to search for ruins in Bible lands (i.e. Kurdistan and Mesopotamia). Therefore, these articles featured more analysis and included supplementary explanations, unlike their predecessors.
