Persian Sufi Poetry: An Introduction to the Mystical Use of Classical Persian Poems J. T. P. de Bruijn is an English-language study book that focuses on the mystical interpretation of classical Persian poems. This work is intended for students and those with an interest in higher education who are looking for deeper insight into Sufi literature.
The book analyzes the poems themselves, not the authors, and discusses the development of Persian mystical poetry. Here the focus is on the relationship between Sufism and literature, followed by four main genres within this tradition: the epigram, the homiletic poem, love poetry, and symbolic tales.
This study book is thematically aligned with topics such as Islam and literary studies, specifically aimed at poetry and religious studies within Islam.
