About this book
The History Of Jahangir
Author: Francis Gladwin
Year: 1930
The History of Jahangir (1930) by Francis Gladwin is an English translation and commentary on the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri —the autobiographical memoirs of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605–1627). Gladwin’s edition provides an accessible narrative of Jahangir’s reign, covering imperial administration, art, architecture, conquests, and his reflections on governance and justice. The translation preserves the emperor’s distinctive voice while situating his reign within the broader context of Mughal history. As one of the earliest English renderings of a Mughal text, it remains an important contribution to Indo-Persian studies and the historiography of early modern South Asia.
