About this Item
8vo. xix, [3], 226 pp. Original gilt-stamped red cloth. Scarce. Nice copy. This is essentially a "desideratum" of the acclaimed two-volume work and also published by the author. The work was initially written as the author's dissertation from the University of London, 1940, here newly edited. "The present work comprises seven chapters. It deals with the preparatory period of modern Persian poetry and then introduces the poets chronologically, with their individual characteristics. The themes and certain general problems are studied, such as the development of language, metres and verse-forms. ΓΆΒ Β¦" [author]. / Ishaque was the author of the authoritative anthology of modern Persian poets: Sukhanvaan-i Iran, or Poets and Poetry of Modern Persia. Calcutta, 1933-7. 2 volumes. "ΓΆΒ Β¦ with a general analysis and critical estimate of the poetry written in Iran during the present century ΓΆΒ Β¦ His new book [1943] is largely based on the thesis he successfully submitted for his Ph.D. at [University of] London, where he had the advantage of working under professor [Vladimir Fedorovich] Minorsky. . Dr. Ishaque has given us an excellent reference work, not perhaps of the same quality as E. G. Browne's Poetry and Press of Modern Persia, but nevertheless quite unique in its field and compiled with great care and thought. ΓΆΒ Β¦ Dr. Ishaque has written a thought-provoking book, and deserves the gratitude of scholars for filling a gap in the range of modern research." See: A. J. Arberry, [book review], Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, no. 2 (1946): 206-7. Seller Inventory # MEE1122
