The volume examines the Isfahan school of court poetry as the dominant literary movement in Iran during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries - the final flourishing of classical Persian court culture before the Mongol invasions of 1219-1221 shattered the Seljuk world. The Isfahan school, centred on the Seljuk court and its patron network, produced the principal masters of panegyric, lyric, and satirical verse of the period, including Anvari, Zahir Faryabi, Jamal al-Din Isfahani, and Kamal Ismail Isfahani, whose works Vorozheikina analyses in depth across four chapters. The monograph reconstructs the literary sociology of pre-Mongol Iran: the relationship between poet and patron, the internal organization of the court literary circle, the genres and poetic conventions of the school, the system of literary-aesthetic values, and the technical repertoire of the verse. A concluding section traces the afterlife of the Isfahan school's imagery in the wandering quatrains attributed to Khayyam and Hafiz. Published with a print run of 1,300 copies, the book has the typical character of a specialist institutional monograph addressed to a narrow academic readership, and is encountered only rarely on the market. The standard reference for Soviet and post-Soviet scholarship on Seljuk-period Persian court poetry and an essential item for research libraries in Iranian studies, Persian literature, and the cultural history of the medieval Islamic Near East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343429890090,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_3355.jpg?v=1778343089","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/vorozheikina-z-the-isfahan-school-of-poets-and-the-literary-life-of-iran-in-the-pre-mongol-period-12th-early-13th-century-isfahanskaya-shkola-poetov-1984-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
