THE INTERPRETATION OF NIZAMIS CULTURAL HERITAGE...

This book fills a void in the field of pre-modern literature written in Persian. It is the
first scholarly publication in English language on and around the poet Nizami Ganjavi written
by important Western and Non-Western scholars  enriching the field with an awareness of their
knowledge and research interests. The multidisciplinary volume initiates a much-needed dialogue
it initiates a much-needed dialogue between the metropolitan and postcolonial academic points
of view. By the example of Nizami's poems it shows how different academic circles interpret
Medieval authors in relation to modern-day national identity and national cultures. Unlike in
Europe and USA  in the USSR citizenship and ethnicity  like two modern official different
criteria of identity  became a stumbling block in the division of cultural heritage of the
past. Irredentism is a central topic in the post-Soviet Union world and gives a voice to the
peripheral rather than to the metropolis with its colonial arguments. The richness and
usefulness of this volume is that the contributions that take this innovative standpoint are
put side by side with others  which remain within the traditional literary analysis and examine
Nizami's creative thoughts on human  society  women  or justice.
