This book contains a comprehensive research on the works of leading figures in the field of literary criticism in modern Iranian thought of the nineteenth century: Mirza Fath Ali Akhundzade; Mirza Malkom Khan; Mirza Abd al-Rahim Talebof; and Zeyn al-Abedin Maraghe'i. Inclusion of Ahmad Kasravi and Sadeq Hedayat was considered appropriate later due to some common aspects of critical attitude to the predecessors. These critics who employed their thoughts and pens in the service of the masses criticized ignorance, injustice and despotism, and since they were experienced authorities on literature, they attacked the writers and poets whose works served despotism. These criticisms were the first seeds of modern literary criticism sown in the field of social and political life, which has helped the young tree of literary criticism to bear fruit.
Iraj Parsinejad has taught Persian literature at Oxford and Tokyo universities. This book is the product of fourteen years of research.
"Until recently, the history of literary criticism in Iran was a neglected area of inquiry. This book, which has been in preparation for many years, features a descriptive history of that crucial field in the latter part of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries. It also includes biographies of several major literary critics, which gives it a secondary use as a source of information on the evolution of aesthetic norms in modern Iran..." -- Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, Professor of Persian, University of Washington.
