English for the Students of Persian Literature – انگلیسی برای دانشجویان رشته ادبیات فارسی

The first major poet of Islamic Iran was Rudaki (Abu Abdollah Jaffar Ebn Mohammad). Rudaki was a blind poet whose fame during his own lifetime rested not only on the merit of his poetry but also on his skill in reciting and in playing the lute. Mohammad Aufi, a 12th century biographer-historiographer, describes Rudaki thus: “He was so sharp and intelligent that by the age of eight he knew all of the Koran by heart, and knew how to recite it properly, and began versifying and imparted delicate tropes; so that people favored him and his appeal grew.
