For more than a century Iran’s social, political, and cultural history has been defined by a struggle toward or away from modernity. In this book Talatoff makes a compelling argument that, despite revolutionary upheaval, the ideals of modernity remain remote due to the absence of a modern notion of sexuality. He illustrates his assertion through the life of Shahrzad, a celebrated stage and screen actress, dancer, journalist, and published poet who eventually became imprisoned and later homeless in the streets of Tehran. Tracing her career along with other pre-revolutionary women artists, Talatoff explores the relationship between gender, sexuality, media, and modernity in Iran.

This book offers new insights into the twelfth-century Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi. Challenging the dominant interpretation of Nezami’s poetry as the product of mysticism or Islam, this book explores Nezami’s literary techniques such as his pictorial allegory and his profound conceptualization of poetry, rhetoric, and eloquence. It employs several theoretical and methodological approaches to clarify the nature of his artistic approach to poetry. Chapters explore Nezami’s understanding of rhetoric and literature as Sakhon, his interest in literary genres, the diversity of themes explored in his Five Treasures, the sources of Nezami’s creativity, and his literary devices. Exploring themes such as love, religion, science, wine, gender, and philosophy, this study compares Nezami’s works to other giants of Persian poetry such as Ferdowsi, Jami, Rudaki, and others. The book argues that Nezami’s main concern was to weave poetry rather than to promote any specific ideology.

The chapters in this volume explore the philosophical underpinnings and cinematic techniques characteristic of Iranian film. Collectively, they show how the pervasive themes of Iranian cinema, such as martyrdom and war, gender roles, and social policy issues have been addressed, and how directors have approached them using a variety of techniques. Some chapters outline the poetic and mystical dimensions of Abbas Kiarostami's movies. Other chapters describe the effects of the Islamic Revolution on codes of morality and their expression in film as well as on directors' tactics in response to the new theocratic system.

This book traces the long struggle between Iran's national narrative and the competing ideological metanarratives, Islamic and Marxist, that sought to displace it, culminating in the 1979 Revolution, when the national narrative appeared defeated. Yet through social and literary resistance, it gradually regained hegemony, sustained by Persian literature, pre-Islamic civilizational heritage, and civic values that persisted beneath ideological domination. Through their novels, women writers exposed the mechanisms of female subjugation while reclaiming Iran's literary legacy, civic values, and cultural pride- helping forge what this book defines as civil society nationalism: a coherent, affirmative, and organic nationalist movement. This book situates these novels within a broader constellation of cultural resistance: suppressed arts, protest slogans, diaspora media, and the transformative energy of successive uprisings, from the reform era of 1997-2005 to the Women, Life, Freedom movement of 2022 and the Lion and Sun uprising of 2025. Together, these developments reveal how cultural memory does not merely sustain identity- it reorganizes political imagination, transforming historical continuity into collective aspiration. Theoretically, the book makes a case for narrative studies over discourse analysis as the sharper framework for understanding both the 1979 Revolution and Iran's ongoing political transformation. A national narrative is, at its core, a story: layered, dynamic, and enduring- and Iran's, though periodically interrupted, has never been extinguished. Drawing on literary studies, narrative theory, and political history, this book provides new perspectives. “A triumph for a distinguished literary historian and critic of Persian literature… a must read for modern literary critics of Persian literature.”Homa Katouzian (University of Oxford) “This splendid study is a must for anyone who is interested in Iran, her politics, her rich modern literary tradition, and the complexities of everyday life… It is rich in its selection of topics, innovative in analysis, and perceptive in contextualizing social dynamics within pivotal historical events.”Asghar Seyed-Gohrab (Utrecht University)
