{"product_id":"short-history-of-persian-literature-hardback","title":"Short History of Persian Literature - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a seminal book, first published in 1961. Over the past six decades, T.N. Devare's work has been widely recognised as a pioneering study to re-discover the glorious heritage of Persian in the Deccan, following the first comprehensive and critical survey completed by the author of Persian manuscript sources and literary works scattered across numerous libraries, archives and repositories in India and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eThe book convincingly argues that, the Deccan’s multilingual and multi-religious traditions shaped the evolution of Indo-Persian and produced over nearly four centuries, a distinct literary and cultural world marked by a syncretic character which defied social, political or religious boundaries. The author also makes the case for collaboration between Persian and the regional languages of India, particularly Marathi. It is the rich legacy of Persian in the Deccan Courts with their vast treasures of literature that is preserved in Dr Devare’s work.\u003cbr\u003eThe book has been regarded and continues to remain a foundational text for studying the Deccan, be it in the field of history, literature or culture.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548661113070,"sku":"9781138316331","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138316331.jpg?v=1720266808","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/short-history-of-persian-literature-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
