This book offers a view of Iran through politics, history and
literature, showing how the three angles combine. Iran, being a
revolutionary society, experienced two great revolutions within the
short span of just seventy years, from the 1900s to the 1970s. Both
were massive revolts of the society against the state; the main
objective of the first being to establish lawful government to make
modernisation possible, and the second, to overthrow the absolute
and arbitrary state, though this time mainly under the banner of
religion and Marxism-Leninism and anti-Westernism. Neither of them
succeeded in their lofty ideals for reasons that are explained and
analysed within. The author also offers a detailed description of
Iran's short-term society, examining the political and intellectual
lives of two of the most remarkable intellectuals-cum-politicians
of the twentieth century. This book provides an overview of modern
Persian literature, both poetry and prose, and discusses the works
of three of the most remarkable Persian poets and writers of the
period. It considers classical Persian literature through the great
variety of its form and substance, and neo-classical literary
developments in the nineteenth century, covering the whole history
of Persian literature. This is crowned in the last chapter by the
love poetry of one of the greatest Persian poets. Iran will be of
interest to students and scholars of Iranian studies and Middle
East Politics.
