The first part of the volume on literature within Iran and the second part on global circulation complement each other. Covering such a wide range of materials as children’s literature, romance, and politico-religious “propagandist” literature, as well as diaspora literature, it offers a rather comprehensive picture of post-1979 literary field. Furthermore, the combination of quantitative and qualitative data resulted in a thorough analysis. For instance, based on quantitative data, it contradicts the common idea that governmental publishers publish a higher quantity of texts compared to independent ones. This volume will appeal to those in the field of modern Persian literature, more particularly those interested in the sociology of the literary field.
