- Hafiz and His Contemporaries is the most comprehensive study of Hafiz (d. 1390) published in English. It is based on more than a decade of comparative research on the poetry of Hafiz and 16 of his contemporaries. Many of Hafiz’s contemporaries have received almost no scholarly attention, and English translations of their poems appear for the first time in my study. Though Hafiz is famous for producing most of his poetry in the ghazal form, Hafiz did not limit its inquiry to the ghazal, in order to disrupt the notional boundaries between form and genre in Persian poetics.
