Abstract: (2799 Views)
‘Resāle-ye- Irād” written by Mirza Fathali Akhundzadeh, Iranian intellectual of the Qajar period, essentially involves a fictional and critical dialogue between Reza Qoli Khan Hedayat and Akhundzadeh about the historical text of "Rawdhat al-Safāye-Nāseri" and some of its historiographical issues. Akhundzadeh strongly criticizes Hedayat’s approach and method of historiography. In this controversial dialogue, due to the fact that Reza Qholi Khan Hedayat is a poet, the misuse of his poems in the text, is the main topic of this debate.
Extended Abstract
Reza Qolikhan Hedayat, entitled Lalah Bashi, was a thirteenth-century writer, poet, and historian in Iran during the reigns of Mohammad Shah and Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar. "Rawdhat al-Safa-ye-Naseri" is one of the most important histories of Qajar period. This historical book is actually called "Appendices to Rawdhat al-Safa", which is actually written in the following of the book "Rawdha al-Safa" by Khvandmir. ‘Resāle-ye- Irād” written by Mirza Fathali Akhundzadeh, Iranian intellectual of the Qajar period, essentially involves a fictional and critical dialogue between Rezaghili Khan Hedayat and Akhundzadeh about the historical text of "Rawdhat al-Safaye-Naseri" and some of its historiographical issues. Akhundzadeh strongly criticizes Hedayat’s approach and method of historiography. In this controversial dialogue, due to the fact that Reza Qholi Khan Hedayat is a poet, the misuse of his poems in Rodhat Al-Safa Naseri is the main topic of this debate. This controversial dialogue between Akhundzadeh and Hedayat in “Resāley-e Irād” is one of the most important polemical tensions in the history of literary criticism and historiography criticism in Iran. This article will show the internal possibilities of this generic debate in recognizing the foundations of Persian literary criticism and historical historiography criticism.
