From Rhyme to Law: A Cognitive Analysis of the Constitutional Discourse in Works Prominent Poets

This book is an academic study of Persian poetry from the Constitutional era (1905-1911), focusing on its central concepts and examining the works of ten prominent poets of the period. Derived from the author's doctoral dissertation, it draws on theories of cognitive grammar and cognitive poetics to analyze the syntactic, linguistic, and discursive systems of the poems. It demonstrates how Constitutional-era poetry became a space for expressing diverse, and at times opposing, perspectives on the political and social transformations of its time. The study also offers a new classification of the poets of this period. Maryam Jafari Azarmani, born in 1977 in Tehran, is a poet, researcher, and literary critic.
