Arthur Upham Pope and A New Survey of Persian Art re-addresses the role of the American pioneer in the study of Persian cultural heritage - Arthur Upham Pope (1881–1969) - in the development of Persian art scholarship and connoisseurship during the twentieth century.
"In addition to offering an overview of Pope's role in the study of Persian art, the book provides new insights into the historiography of Islamic art." - Sarah Piram, in: Abstracta Iranica 37-39 (2018)
"Kadoi's edited volume, which gauges the impact of American Orientalist Arthur Upham Pope (1881-1969) on the fields of Iranian art, architecture and archaeology, joins an ever-expanding literature on the historiography of Islamic art and architecture…. the papers introduce a variety of valuable perspectives and much that is new. We form a good understanding of the characters populating - and the life of - an unfolding field" - David J. Roxburgh, in: Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies (2018)
