Hossein Bakhshi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: With the onset of colonialism in the world, which was accompanied by the industrial and technological advances of the West and then its military and weapons superiority, many reactions took place in the colonized countries; One of the most important reactions against the colonialists took place in the world of poetry and literature, and the free-thinking poets of these nations reflected on the aggressions and crimes of the colonialists. Persian poetry of the constitutional era was also very active in this field and the poets of this period entered the field of anti-colonial struggles with a great sense of commitment to their people and their land. In this research, we have tried to study the important works and encounters of the poets of this period with the phenomenon of colonialism by studying the important works of Persian poetry of the constitutional era.
