Jaryānʹshināsī-i taṭbīqī-i shiʻr-i pāydārī dar kishvarʹhā-yi Fārsīʹzabān (Īrān, Afghānistān, Tājīkistān)

This work offers a comparative analysis of Persian resistance poetry across Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. It explores how revolutionary and resistance-themed literature evolved uniquely in each of these Persian-speaking regions, shaped by historical events such as colonialism, war, revolution, and socio-political upheaval. The study begins with a foundational discussion on the theoretical framework of comparative literature and resistance literature, including both general and specialised definitions. It then systematically analyses poetic movements, literary themes, and aesthetic characteristics, mapping the influence of sociopolitical environments on poetic forms and expressions. The book addresses key figures, poetic styles, and motifs such as martyrdom, nationalism, defiance, and identity, offering both critical and historical perspectives. It also includes detailed examinations of resistance poetry during different periods, such as the Afghan wars, the Iranian Revolution, and post-Soviet Tajikistan. Ideal for researchers in Persian literature, comparative studies, and cultural history.
