The unique aspect of the book is its strong empirical perspective as it analyses how Persian intellectuals dealt with sensor, suppression, imprisonment, exile and even execution for the sake of expression of free speech. Karimi-Hakkak’s methodology is also unique as he applies theoretical perspectives of various disciplines to produce a multi-faceted work, which provide the reader with a concise socio-political history based on the interaction between literature and politics. ‘A Fire of Lilies’ will therefore make a significant contribution to the research on modern Persian literature as well as literary historiography.Iranian Studies SeriesLiterary Criticism / Subjects & Themes / PoliticsbisacshLiteratureHistory and criticismIranIntellectual life20th centuryIranfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastLiterary Criticism / Subjects & Themes / PoliticsLiteratureHistory and criticism.891/.5509003Karimi-Hakkak Ahmad645923MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910372779303321A Fire of Lilies2195263UNINA
