In the process, it underlines the remarkable tenacity of their malleable tradition: the perennial dialogue and the interconnectedness which binds together a vast and varied literature composed of many threads, romantic and didactic, in many lands, from Anatolia and Iran to India and Central Asia. In its companion volume, Persian Lyric in the Classical Era, 800-1500, the readers of the series will have already met in passing all the mythical and historical figures who appear with far more aplomb on the stage here, with their lives narrated in detail by poets of different caliber from different perspectives. The first two chapters of this volume recount the literary history of the entire period, focusing on didactic and romantic narratives. The central chapters take a closer look at the towering figure of the poet Nezami Ganjavi. The final chapter takes the reader to a wider landscape tracing the footsteps of Alexander across the globe, offering insights to the cultural preoccupations refracted in so many versions past and present"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Persian poetry $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Persian poetry $y 747-1500. 650 7 $a Persian poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01058542 648 7 $a 747-1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Ashtiany, Mohsen, $d 1943- $e editor. 830 0 $a History of Persian literature ; $v v. 3. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=194448D2253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
