Beyond the Mystical: How Hafiz's poetry can help historians read post-Mongol Iran

Speaker: Dominic Parviz Brookshaw is Senior
Research Fellow in Persian at Wadham,
and Associate Professor of Persian
Literature at The Oriental Institute. He
holds a DPhil from Oxford in medieval
Persian poetry, and a BA from Oxford in
Arabic with Persian. The current focus of
Professor Brookshaw’s research is the
intersection between performance,
patronage, and desire in texts produced by
poets and other literati who were active in
Shiraz in the fourteenth century CE. His
most recent book is Hafiz and His
Contemporaries: Poetry, Performance and
Patronage in Fourteenth-century Iran (I.B.
Tauris/Bloomsbury: 2019).
