A Year Amongst the Persians: Impressions as to the Life, Character & Thought of the People of Persia, Received During Twelve Months' Residence in that Country in the Years 1887-1888

Edward Granville Browne (1862 – 1926) was a British orientalist. He published numerous articles and books, mainly in the areas of history and literature. He also studied Arabic with Edward Henry Palmer and William Wright, and Persian with Edward Byles Cowell, motivated by an interest in the Turkish people. After graduating in 1882 he travelled to Constantinople. Browne then spent a further two years at Cambridge studying Indian languages, and also gained an M.B. in London. In 1887 he was made a Fellow of Pembroke, and then paid an extended visit to Persia.

In A Year Among the Persians (1893) he wrote a sympathetic portrayal of Persian society. After his death in 1926 it was reprinted and became a classic in English travel literature.
