The author tells the story of Classical Persian Literature from Firdausi and his Shah-nama, completed about the year 1000, to the death of Jami in 1492. During this period Persia was not only 'a garden of singing birds'; its poetry is famous, and the names of Hafiz, Sa'di, Nizami and Rumi deserve to be as familiar to the western reader as Omar Khayyam.
