The Wine Goblet of Ḥāfeẓ

978-1-4331-3370-1 (ISBN)
In this innovative book, Bahman Solati presents a comparative study of Ḥāfeẓ, an internationally renowned poet in the West, particularly in Germany, France, and the Anglophone world for the past 250 years, and his influence on the fifteenth-century classical Persian poet Jāmī.
Having played a key role on the stage of world literature and poetry, present available studies in the West suffer from a dearth of good research works on Ḥāfeẓ. This text aims to fill this gap, including coverage of commentaries, critical studies, and compilations of Ḥāfeẓ’s Divān, juxtaposing them with works and poetry of Jāmī to evaluate the influence of Ḥāfeẓ on this fifteenth-century mystic and poet. Comprehensive notes and an extensive bibliography are added bonuses of the book.
Devotees of Persian literature and those of Persian-speaking countries (Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan) will find this text of particular interest, as will academics interested in Persian poetry and literature. The usefulness of this research alone for students and scholars alike is of itself enough to make this book worth adding to any library.
Bahman Solati is a visiting scholar in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. in Persian literature and comparative studies from the University of Exeter. His current research focuses on the impact of Sufism on post-Islamic Persian literature. He is the author of The Reception of Ḥāfeẓ (2013), Rubā‘īyāt of Ḥakim ‘Umar Khayyam: Selected Quatrains of Khayyam Translated into Simple English with Spiritual Interpretation (2015), and Persian Words of Wisdom: Sayings and Proverbs by Masters of Persian Poetry (2015).
