Through a series of insightful and sophisticated readings, this
book reveals the worldliness of premodern Persian poetry. It traces
the political role of poetry in shaping the prison poem genre
(habsiyyat) across 12th-century Central, South and West Asia.
Bringing theorists as wide ranging as Kantorowicz, Benjamin and
Adorno into conversation with classical Persian poetics, this book
offers an unprecedented account of prison poetry before modernity,
and of premodern Persianate culture within the framework of world
literature and global politics.
