Synopsis

Compared With Numerous Critical Studies In Central Asian History, Politics And Society Published During Recent Years, Modern Languages And Literary Traditions Of Central Asia Have Received Less Scholarly Attention In The West. If We Consider Specifically The Iranian World, Especially In The Modern Period, It Must Be Admitted That The Linguistics And Literature Of Central Asia, Compared To The Linguistics And Literature Of Iran, Remain In Need Of More Investigation. This Collection Sheds Light On Various Issues Of The Iranian Linguistic And Literary Arena Outside Of Iran, Offering A Variety Of Twelve Original Contributions By Both Leading Scholars And New Names In The International Academic Setting. The Regions Of Afghanistan, Badakhshan, And Transoxania, Important Centers Of Iranian Languages And Literatures, Are Here Brought Back Into Their Broader Iranian Context, For The Benefit Of Modern Iranian Studies.
