Items related to Persian Love Poetry
Love is a major theme in Persian poetry and can be interpreted in various ways - as mystic love, the basis of the relationship between humans and God, or as passionate or affectionate love between lovers, husbands and wives, parents and children, family and friends, or even as patriotic love for Iran. The literary style and indeed the Persian language itself are floral and elaborate, but the themes differ little from our preoccupations with love and romance today.
This collection of extracts, selected from the best of traditional and contemporary Persian poetry, has been freshly translated by Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis. Each poem is illustrated with a fine example of Persian art from the collections of the British Museum. With a brief introduction to the Persian poetic tradition and a short biographical note about each of the poets, this anthology is the perfect way to discover the treasures of Persian literature and art.
