Critical study and analysis of Farsi treatises of Forsat Ud-Doleh Shirazi in regard to eloquence and essays

Shirazi was one of the prominent poets of Qajarid era. He has authored a number of Farsi literary texts, which have been included within the framework of a number of treatises in one of his hand-written books named Daryaye Kabir. Given that the approach of literary books in the recent centuries has been consideration of previous books, and promotion, education and recitation of these books, it seems that these treatises are based on a number of works which have been written in India prior to the era of Shirazi. This shows the popularity of Indian books on the topics of eloquence in Shirazi’s time, while emphasizing the fact that there were no innovations for promotion of Farsi eloquence up until the days of Shirazi. The shortness and simplicity of the discussions presented by the compiler are two of the features of the discussed treatises.
