By the crowning of Fatali Shah Ghajar, poetry found a better position and status compared with the previous periods of Zands and Afsharids. The Ghajar king who was a poet himself and whose pen name was khaghan began to support poets and with the formation and establishment of the new center of restoration movement in Tehran, many poets directed their steps from around the country toward the capital of Iran, Tehran.

This article, first takes a formalist approach and attempts to achieve two goals: defining the term defamiliarization, its essence and function. Then, it illustrates one of the prosodic features of Naser khosrow’s poetry which could be considered as an appropriate example of rhythmic defamiliarization. For this purpose, seven meters from his Divān, of which rare meters are usually called unpleasant/ unfamiliar, will be discussed; and, according to their different structures, they will be categorized into  two groups: one incorporating six meters, and the other containing only one. The meters of the first group which are mainly analyzed in this study have different length from their current forms. When a poet such as Naser Khosrow employs these infrequent meters in his poetry, it sounds odd to most of Persian readers who are accustomed to the ordinary rhythms. This can be called rhythmic/ prosodic defamiliarization.

The book Javame Ahkam Alnojoom written by Abu Al-Hasan Ali Ibn Zayd Beihaqi is truly considered as a masterpiece on astronomy written in 6th century.  The prose of this book duplicates a good part of the Morsel prose in terms of lexical and stylistic features of the 6th century.

Hindi style was adopted as a new method to escape the repetition and imitation which had been widespread in Persian poetry for a long time. However, it went ahead with this new manner so far that later on this style was considered decadent and did not enjoy a high status among literary community despite its merits  and beauty.  Fazel Nazari is a young poet whose poems in recent years have been well-received by the audience. He has excellently identified the capacities of Hindi style poetry and applied them to his own poems.  In this paper, the researchers demonstrate and investigate the characteristics of Hindi style in Nazari’s poems, features such as depth and complexity, themes, lack of vertical axis in Ghazal, allegory, using simple and everyday language, using daily issues, objects and environments in poetry, and personification. Moreover, a number of points regarding the artistic value and the aesthetic qualities of the mentioned characteristics have been discussed

Styles in the normal course of historical development change and evolve, and in the process of this movement and change, some poets play a vital role. These poets try to be inventive in order to escape banality and repeated and shallow literary traditions, and by creating a rift between themselves and former traditions they introduce new elements.  These artists either create new figures or take an old but neglected one and develop it to give a special flavor to their personal style, or by introducing it to other poets they help in developing a new style. Hafiz is a good example of such artists. This article is an attempt to describe the figure "ambiguous metaphor of irony", as a mixed and already known figure (though unconsciously, not consciously), in the poetry of the poets before Hafiz, his role is highlighted in the rediscovery and serious development of this figure and its moderate use and finally its transference to the Indian style  where it had its highest development.

Through a rhetorical system, poets’ and writers’ worldview is reflected in their literary works. One effective factor in forming or changing these viewpoints is the happenings and changes of the world poets dwell on different levels. Simile is an important structure in the rhetorical system. In this piece of research the writers have tried to show how structure of simile in Bidel reveals transformations in the texture of situation on different levels through establishing relations with other rhetorical structures. Moreover, the research also investigates how vivid or subdued transformations in the current period affect the horizon of expectation of previous ages resulting in the formation of new horizons. In this article, the poems of Bidel are regarded as a field the intrinsic transformations in which can be attributed to other fields such as Hindi style of poetry. Through this study, it became obvious that not only the poet (Bidel) sometimes creates new structures out of old similes, but also he establishes new structures by creating chains of similes networks, resulting in the abundance of syntactic images, or  several images using multidimensional words, etc. In the following article, situational texture of Safavid era, linguistic texture of Hindi style, its common simile structures, and at last, new simile structures and their features in Bidel’s poems are studied.

The geometrical complexity of some images, especially Indian-style images, which are not found in the field of traditional expression and which have not been mentioned by scholars in the historical tradition, is such that one must use a suitable tool to analyze them. In the present study, conducted by quantitative statistical analysis, first, frequency was usedto examine and compare the number of single and compound techniques in 500 verses of Bidel’s sonnets (which were randomly selected from all over his divan).Then, the three compound techniques of “irony metaphor”, “metaphorical amphibology metaphor” and “metaphorical amphibology irony simile” were examined in the structure of images of Bidel.The results of this study show that in both verses of Bidel’s poems, there is almost onecompound technique; additionally, onethird of Bidel’s images are created with the help of these techniques, and this means that by contenting ourselves with the four elements of traditional expression (simile, metaphor, irony, and metonymy) and ignoring the literary tools of compounding, the analysis and interpretation of Bidel’spoems will be incomplete.

Mohammad Ali Foroughi (also known as Zoka-ol-Molk) is regarded as one of the well-known contemporary Iranian men in politics, culture, and law. His political and cultural careers motivated him to correspond with many educated friends about these issues. Due to Foroughi’s familiarity with ancient literature and his attachment to Iranian culture, his letters have been influenced by the style of his predecessors in addition to the earlier literary works. By perusing these letters, one can visibly see the influence of Ghaem Magham Farahani’s Monsha’at (Letters). While imitating the style of Farahani, Foroughi had innovations in his letters. The present article aims to reveal the extent of Foroughi’s innovation and his being influenced by Ghaem Magham’s letters by considering Farahani’s letters as an example of the return style. In the current study 11 letters from Foroughi, collected in Zoka-ol-Molk’s policy book, and 11 letters from Ghaem Magham’s Monsha’at, fallen into friendship, politics, and social categories, were analyzed. It was found that although Foroughi was influenced by the letter styles, literary techniques, and linguistic features of Farahani’s letters, he made innovations in their contents and concepts. Zoka-ol-Molk’s innovations can be seen in combining the return style with modern socio-political concepts. In writing letters, Foroughi paid special attention to the temporal conditions and people’s understanding. Therefore, besides being influenced by the return style (especially that of Monsha’at), he overcame its weaknesses with some expressive tricks and subtleties. By using this way of writing, Foroughi has achieved the goals of attracting the attention of the audience to promoting Persian culture and literature and conveying modern concepts along with reporting on current social issues. In his political and social letters, we see him imitating demanding literary-historical texts; while his friendly letters are very tender and heartwarming due to imitating lyrical texts. Hence, reading these letters gives the reader more literary pleasure than social letters.
