Reviews
The power and delight of literature in Persian is known to many readers, worldwide. But how is this magnificent literature related to recent debates on coloniality, nationalism, and world literature? With this collection of studies, we begin to know. The authors' rich scholarship explores both historical and contemporary problems. * Raewyn Connell, University Chair, University of Sydney, Australia, and author of Southern Theory: Social Science and the Global Dynamics of Knowledge (2007) * This collection of essays is excellent because the theoretical and methodological issues they discuss are not just important for rethinking the study of Persian literature, but are highly relevant to the study of any non-Western literature. Anyone interested in literary studies, particularly in comparative and cross-cultural studies, will find a lot in this collection to be stimulating, thought-provoking, and beneficial. Highly recommended! * Zhang Longxi, Chair Professor of Comparative Literature and Translation, City University of Hong Kong, and author of From Comparison to World Literature (2014) * 'There is nothing that is major or revolutionary except the minor,' according to Deleuze and Guattari. Persian Literature as World Literature does exactly this--shows the porousness of the borders, the fluidity of interactions, and the revolutionary act of reading Persian literature as world literature and vice versa. * Claudia Yaghoobi, Roshan Institute Associate Professor in Persian Studies, University of North Carolina, USA, and author of Temporary Marriage in Iran: Gender and Body Politics in Modern Persian Literature and Film (2020) *

Highly recommended! * Zhang Longxi, Chair Professor of Comparative Literature and Translation, City University of Hong Kong, and author of From Comparison to World Literature (2014) * The contributors to this volume approach Persian literary criticism with sensitivity and seek to liberate the field from nationalist frameworks that all too often have hindered the study of Persian literature in the west. The essays collected here open our eyes to the diverse ways in which the Persian literary system has influenced other transnational literary systems and how, in turn, it has been shaped by those encounters over the past millennium and more. * Dominic Parviz Brookshaw, Associate Professor of Persian Literature, University of Oxford, UK *
