The Great Umar Khayyam : A Global Reception of the Rubáiyát
The Rubáiyát by the Persian poet ‘Umar Khayyæm (1048-1131) is used in contemporary Iran as a resistance literature, symbolizing the secularist voice in cultural debates.

New translations, new scenery, new m…

The second direction expands into considerations of contextual theories of affect and atmosp…
