Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of Persian literary history. Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry (10th century) up to the age of Jami (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet

"In Figural Realism, White collects eight interrelated essays primarily concerned with the treatment of history in recent literary critical discourse. "'History' is not only an object we can study," White observes, "it is also and even primarily a certain kind of relationship to 'the past' mediated by a distinctive kind of written discourse. It is because historical discourse is actualized in its culturally significant form as a specific kind of writing that we may consider the relevance of literary theory to both the theory and the practice of historiography.""--Jacket.

Culte du moi, culte de l'histoire. Les manuels d'histoire littéraire retiennent souvent ces formules synthétiques pour qualifier le nouveau cours de la production littéraire et de la vie de l'esprit dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Juxtaposées, elles exprimeraient la double postulation du romantisme français - et son double prestige. Le présent volume voudrait réinterroger l'attrait qu'exercent, sur les auteurs du premier XIXe siècle, l'écriture du Moi et l'écriture de l'Histoire. Doit-on se fier aux slogans réducteurs de l'histoire littéraire ? Mieux vaut secouer leur évidence trop brève, malmener les commodités du discours qui isolent les catégories comme autant d'espaces homogènes et distincts : égotisme, historicisme. Peut-on croire un instant au caractère contingent de la rencontre des deux dans un même pays et au même moment ? En postulant que non, on est conduit à enquêter sur les liens qui s'établissent entre les deux inspirations - et les deux pratiques - de l'écriture de soi et de l'écriture de l'histoire : trouvent-elles leur point de rencontre dans une écriture de la mémoire ? Individuelle ou collective, la mémoire écrite invente-elle un même type de mise en récit ? Quels liens penser entre écriture de soi et période historique troublée ? Ces enjeux ont certainement une portée générale ; mais la période post-révolutionnaire, 1789-1848, leur donne une importance cruciale, tout occupée qu'elle est de dire la place de chacun dans le monde. Si écriture de soi et écriture de l'histoire apparaissent comme deux modalités fondamentales de l'expression romantique, la mise en relation des deux peut ajouter des éléments à ce qu'on nommera une archéologie du romantisme.

A PDF version of this book is available for free in open access via the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org. Arguing that neo-Victorian fiction enacts and celebrates cultural memory, this book uses memory discourse to position these novels as dynamic participants in the contemporary historical imaginary.
