Persian literature forms the pinnacle of Persian culture and has had a profound influence on the literatures of Ottoman Turkey, Muslim India, and Central Asian Turkish regions. It also served as an inspiration for authors such as Goethe, Emerson, Matthew Arnold, and Jorge Luis Borges. Yet this rich literature has never received the attention it deserves.
