Barʹrasī-i niʼūkilāsīsīsm va taʼs̲īr-i ān bar shiʻr-i dawrah-i Mashrūṭah

This academic study by ʻAbd Allāh Ḥasanʹzādeh Mīr ʻAlī and Laylā Shāmānī provides a comprehensive analysis of Neoclassicism and its influence on the development of Persian poetry during the critical Constitutional (Mashrūṭah) period in Īrān. The authors begin by establishing the theoretical foundations of Classicism and Neoclassicism within the context of European literature, specifically focusing on French and English traditions. The work then shifts to the Iranian literary sphere, exploring how the sociopolitical changes of the Mashrūṭah era facilitated a blend of traditional forms and modern rationalism. Detailed chapters offer critical interpretations of key poets who exemplified this transition, including Muḥammad Taqī Bahār, Abū al-Qāsim Lāhūtī, Farrukhī Yazdī, Taqī Rafʻat, and Jaʻfar Khāmnahʼī. The text investigates how these figures utilised the Neoclassical approach to bridge the gap between Īrān's rich literary heritage and the demands of a modernising society.
