A Revolution in Rhyme: Poetic Co-option under the Islamic Republic
offers, for the first time, an original, timely examination of the
pivotal role poetry plays in policy, power and political legitimacy
in modern-day Iran. Through a compelling chronological and thematic
framework, Shams presents fresh insights into the emerging lexicon
of coercion and unrest in the modern Persian canon. Analysis of the
lives and work of ten key poets traces the evolution of the Islamic
Republic, from the 1979 Revolution, through to the Iran-Iraq War,
the death of a leader and the rise of internal conflicts. Ancient
forms jostle against didactic ideologies, exposing the complex
relationship between poetry, patronage and literary production in
authoritarian regimes, shedding light on a crucial area of
discourse that has been hitherto overlooked.
