شاهنامه سرایی فردوسی ومهدی اخوان ثالث حماسه سرا دراد بیات فارسی معاصر
تلخیص
Epic poetry had narrative poems of legendary and heroic content. Classical Persian literary theory did not recognize the epic as a distinct genre. Modern Persian critics have coined for them the term hamaseh-sarai, roughly “heroic poetry.”
Ferdowsi’s Shah-nama is the last and definitive retelling of the Iranian national saga in verse. This important mathnavi and monumental poem of more than 50,000 verses, completed in 400/1010 and dedicated to Maḥmud of Ghazna, covers the whole of the legendary and, from the time of Alexander onward, semi-legendary history of Iran. It is justly regarded by Persians as their national epic as par excellence.
Mahdi Akhavan Thalith was yet another forceful epic poet in contemporary Persian literature whose style and poetic voice that convincingly combined the most eloquent potentialities of the Khorasani poetic tradition with an unflinching political commitment to radical reutilization of Persian poetry. The result was a nuanced, barely noticeable balance between a poetic narrative that had nothing but its own story to tell and a relentless engagement with the political. His poetry then became the conscience of a whole generation of poetic politics: a poetry that took zest and momentum from life, politics that was embedded in the humanizing force of poetry.
In the modern Persian literature, the epic poetry was used as one of the effective means of highlighting the socio-cultural and political trends in Iran, a power tool to reflect coercive nature of the rulers and mute odium of suppressed people. Modern Epic Poetry also played crucial role as to free the people from the yoke of monarchy.
