Indo-Persian Literature as Global Literature: Love, Longing, and Dissent from the Balkans to Bengal

1 Unit · Undergraduate

This course will introduce students to some of the canonical poets of classical IndoPersian literature, along with the global historical context in which they lived and wrote. Expressions of love, longing, devotion, and dissent were among the most common themes of this literature, which also had an important, if underappreciated, afterlife in modern Euro-American cultural and intellectual history.
