Abstract
Abstract The present article identifies and analyzes the types of utopia in Persian literature and attempts to explain this concept in the form of Persian poetry and prose texts. Utopia, as an ideal and perfect world, first appeared in philosophical texts and then in literary texts, and has been widely depicted and drawn in Persian in various forms. Poets and writers have each depicted and explained the types of utopia according to their own cultural, social, and historical backgrounds. This research is in the field of literary typology and has classified and analyzed Persian utopias by genre using a descriptive-analytical and comparative method and library resources. The article also compares the common features and differences of this genre in Persian classical works such as Shahnameh, Eskandarnameh, and Kheradnameh Eskandari , as well as Persian novels of the Constitutional Era and after, and in the analysis of the subject, works are examined in which a general outline of a utopian society is presented. The main issue of the research is the analysis of Persian utopias and their classification based on the characteristics and ultimate goal of those works. The results of the research indicate the diversity and breadth of types of utopias in Persian poetry and prose texts, where writers have used utopia to represent collective and individual aspirations as well as to criticize the social and political situation of their time.
