While mention is made of key historical and religious works, this volume focuses on poetry and literary prose, whether popular or courtly in inspiration.

This insightful and wide-ranging overview introduces readers to authors such as Yunus Emre, Rumi, afez, and Fuzuli of Baghdad. An invaluable resource!
