Description

Explore a groundbreaking scholarly examination of the Ghaznavid and Seljuk dynasties through the lens of medieval Persian poetry. This academic work by Routledge focuses on two prominent panegyric poets, Farrukhi Sistani (c.995-1032) and Mu'izzi (c.1045-1127), and their relationships with the rulers and dignitaries they served. The author investigates how reliable historical information can be extracted from their poems, comparing poetic sources with other historical records to provide fresh insights into Iranian history during this transformative period. Essential reading for scholars specialising in Oriental Studies, Medieval Literature, and Medieval History, this volume offers rigorous analysis and impressive scholarship that illuminates the cultural and political dimensions of the Ghaznavid and Seljuk era through one of history's most valuable documentary sources.
