It traces the political role of poetry in shaping the prison poem genre (habsiyyat) across 12th-century Central, South and West Asia. Bringing theorists as wide ranging as Kantorowicz, Benjamin and Adorno into conversation with classical Persian poetics, this book offers an unprecedented account of prison poetry before modernity, and of premodern Persianate culture within the framework of world literature and global politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Ruth Gould\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474484026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474484022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"Rebecca Ruth Gould","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190562418943,"sku":"9781474484022","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f01d21b-5c68-4850-a8ef-a5603ffcee01.jpg?v=1690871210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-persian-prison-poem-rebecca-ruth-gould-9781474484022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
