Poetry and Revolution: The Poets and Poetry of the Constitutional Era of Iran

  • Résumé

  • Following a two-pronged approach, this volume studies both those who the Constitutional Revolution influenced in their works and those who addressed the Revolution with their work, influencing it directly. Through analysing their works, this volume explores influential poets and writers from the period, including Iraj, Vaziri, Afrāshteh, Yazdi, Bahār and ‘Eshqi. It covers female poets who are often overlooked, as well as the significant satirical poets whose work educated and entertained the readers and criticized socio-political events. Analysing the mainstream and marginal poets, this volume argues that the margins initiated Persian poetry's evolution. As Persian poetry and its multifunctional legacy became the standard-bearer of the Constitutional movement, this volume is an essential contribution to understanding Iran.
