Under Mongol and Timurid rule, Persian letters did not fade; they flourished in new, unexpected forms of devotion, philosophy, and courtly art. Poetry endured conquest and change. In A History of Persian Literature under Tartar Dominion (A.D. 1265-1502), Edward G. Browne traces this astonishing resilience, offering a clear, engaging survey of medieval Persian literature from the fall of the Abbasids to the dawn of Safavid power. Balancing narrative persian literary history with close, insightful persian literature criticism, he follows major poets, mystics, historians and prose stylists as they reimagined Islamic Persian culture in an age of upheaval. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Long recognised as a classic scholarly history within Edward Browne Persian studies, this volume remains an essential academic reference book on Mongol era literature and the wider world of Mongol Timurid Iran. Its lucid overview of genres and themes across devotional, mystical, historical, and courtly writing makes it invaluable for Persian poetry study, while its vivid intellectual portraits invite curious general readers into the texture of Islamic Persian culture. Perfect for scholars and students building a serious library, for readers of Rumi and classical Sufi verse seeking historical context, and for collectors of enduring works on medieval Persian literature.
