Abstract

Analysis of intertextual relationships of literary texts of different genres is a practical way of investigating the fusion or “coexistence” of literary types. Qaboosnameh and Nizami’s works as focal texts in Persian literature played a media role in transferring Iran's culture, literature, and civilization. There is numerous intertextual evidence proving Qaboosnameh's influence on Nizami. One of the crucial signs of this influence is the intellectual and linguistic intrusion of Qaboosnameh in his works. The study of Nizami’s works and Qaboosnameh shows the importance of intertextual interactions in the coexistence of literary genres. This paper in a descriptive-analytical way has studied the intertextuality of Qaboosnameh and Nizami’s works offering evidence and concluding that intertextual interactions indicate the coexistence of different literary types clearly. Both Onsorolma?ali and Nizami were aware of the coexistence of literary genres and established a dialogue between literary genres and works in this way. In Qaboosnameh, in addition to some lyric and epic chapters, there are lyric and epic elements within didactic materials. Nizami has benefited from didactic elements as an inseparable part of his non-didactic works based on the text and situation. One of its prominent examples is the insertion of "Andarznameh" in lyric and epic works, especially in the continuation of "Saghinameh". The high frequency of implicit and explicit intertextuality indicates Nizami’s genius and creativity in applying former prose heritage, especially Qaboosnameh. He has covered this precious heritage of rhythm, rhyme, and imagery to enrich his works' content, semantic dilation, textual cohesion, and artistic appeal.
