A Review on the Reaction of Poets of "Return" Literary School against Russo-Iranian War

Russo-Iranian war made the poetry enjoy a new experience entering socio-political issues and react the important events of the time. These long and bloody wars that fought between the 17th and 19th centuries promoted some poets who were active within the framework of the school of "literary return" to react. By studying these reactions the great poets of this period can be classified in to two main groups: 1) the ones who were community-oriented, such as Mirza Abolqasem Qaem-Maqam and Neshat Isfahani who were among Iranian great politicians and had an analytical approach toward war; and 2) the ones who werent community-oriented, such as Sahab Isfahani and Vesal Shirazi who composed poems putting words together in praise of others. It has been tried, in present essay, to review the reaction of the poets who worked in the school of "literary return" to the Russo-Iranian war and the reflection of this great event in their works, studying their works and divans.
