| Summary | "Persian Literature, Ancient and Modern" by Elizabeth A. Reed is a comprehensive historical account of Persian literature written in the late 19th century. The work explores the origins, evolution, and significant milestones of Persian literary traditions from ancient times through to modernity, delving into both poetry and prose. Reed organizes the content into chronological divisions, highlighting key periods, influential works, and notable figures in Persian literature. The opening of the book sets a scholarly tone, addressing the historical foundations of Persian literature. Reed speaks to how Persian literary culture developed from the influences of ancient civilizations, such as Babylon and Assyria, and describes the interplay between conquest and cultural assimilation that enriched the Persian literary landscape. She introduces the origins of early Persian texts, discusses the significance of the Zend-Avesta, and points out the role of mythology and epic narratives, emphasizing how these aspects continue to shape modern Persian literature.
