Naqsh va taʼs̲īr-i adabīyāt, adabīyāt-i namāyishī va maṭbūʻāt bar nahz̤at-i Mashrūṭah

This scholarly work by Fāṭimah Alvandī explores the intricate relationship between the Constitutional Revolution (Nahz̤at-i Mashrūṭah) in Īrān and the burgeoning fields of modern literature, theatre, and journalism during the Qājār era. Published in Tihrān by Naẓarī, the study argues that the movement was not merely a political shift but a cultural awakening driven by the interplay of intellectuals, poets, and playwrights who used their craft to challenge despotism. The text is structured to analyse these cultural mediums across three distinct phases: the pre-constitutional awakening, the period of establishment, and the post-constitutional era. It offers critical insights into the works of pioneers such as Mīrzā Āqā Khān Kirmānī and Murtaẓá Qulī Khān Fikrī, demonstrating how night-letters (shabʹnāmah), satirical plays, and the free press acted as catalysts for social change and public awareness in Īrān.
