International Journal of Persian Literature

Access current issues through Scholarly Publishing Collective or back content on JSTOR.

International Journal of Persian Literature is a peer-reviewed journal with a novel focus on Persian poetics, poetry, classical Persian philology, prose, and the literature of Iran and the broader geographical areas. The journal aims to examine how Persian has functioned as literary and cultural language, traversing the geographies of South, West, and Central Asia, including present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan,Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, the Caucasus, and Southeast Asia. Published annually, this journal aims to create an international dialogue and forum for Persian literary culture in Iran and these wider geographical areas, while encouraging interdisciplinary interventions. The journal is published in association with the Middle East Centre, St. Antony's College, University of Oxford.

The mission of IJPL is to further knowledge in all aspects of Persian literature, in particular in the less-researched aspects of the literary and comparative studies in that field, and most importantly create an interdisciplinary dialogue with other world literary traditions. We intend to nurture novel ideas and create dialogue that is not only intra-regional but also international, all with a literary focus that is driven by poetics, philology, and an astute (objective) sense of interpretation. International Journal of Persian Literature is published in association with the Middle East Centre, St. Antony’s College, University of Oxford.
