Abstract

The view has wrongly developed that the expanse of contemporary Persian literature is confined to the novel, the short story and poetry. Contemporary Persian literature has a much wider expanse encompassing many other literary genres. These, as compared with the classical genres, may be divided into five groups as follows: those that are written in the continuation of classical literature; those that are traditional in nature but which have a modern flavor; those that have parallels in classical literature but which fall into no established genre; those that are not literary in the strict sense of the word but whose subject matter is literature and those that have no parallels in classical literature but whose genres have developed in the 20th century. The writer argues that there is no gap between Persian classical and modern literature; and that in spite of obvious differences between the two in terms of content and form, the spirit of Persian culture has remained intact; if the modern Persian literature, the writer maintains, has failed to produce great works such as Ferdowsī's The Shahnameh, Rūmī's The Masnavī and Nezāmī's kamseh, that is because the golden age of literature is no longer revived with the rise of literary champions; rather, it is the sum of individual works that find an amazing value. In line with other cultural phenomena, literature has shown a strong tendency toward democratization. If We look at literature from this perspective, we will observe a great number of worthwhile literary products. What are specially worthwhile is the developments made in contemporary Persian, developments the like of which cannot be observed in any period in the history of Persian. In particular, these developments have expanded the potential of Persian for writing literary and expository texts. However, there are still shortcomings and gaps in such areas of Persian scholarship as the history of Persian literature, Persian Grammar and literary criticism. The contemporary literary period, the writer concludes, is distinct from its predecessors in various respects. In this period, literary texts have undergone fundamental changes, promising an even more fruitful future.
