These special characteristics of Shāmlu’s poetic features together with his socio-cultural and political vision as manifested in his poems had excessively allowed for his oeuvre to be popularized, forming a large crowd of admirers who even tried to mythologize his character and art. Shāmlu’s enthusiastic admirers, moreover, insist that his poetry is everlasting and even immortal. This article claims that critics should not function as judges of history, declaring a contemporary work of art as an immortal artefact. To this light, the article will argue that Shamlu’s innovation in poetry is not just linguistic, but rather an element that signifies his intellectual superiority. Moreover, the article examines two characteristics of Shāmlu’s poetry, which could probably endanger the popularity of his poems with future generations. It, therefore, first explores the authoritative position of the poet vis-à-vis his audience; and then examines the special relationship of humans with nature. |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nIn the modern Persian poetry, Ahmad Shāmlu is best seen as a neo-classist whose poetry bears a distinctive structural quality, allowing for the work and at once the poet toemerge as historico-literary markers. The elements that had pushed Shāmlu’s poetry to such literary significance are as follows:  \n- Shāmlu is one of the few poets with a distinctive language of his own. While some scholars find Nimā Yushij as the progenitor of modern Persian poetry, Shāmlu belongs to a minor crowd with a rather personal and particular language and lingual authority. Shāmlu’s take on language, the sort which is regarded as a combination of the 4th and 5th century prose (Barāhani, Qāleb-e sheʻr-e Shāmlu, p. 895) with contemporary features and even slangs and colloquial discourse (Rezvani, pp. 179, 185- 187), appears as one of the accepted poetic languages of the modern Persian poetry. Considering the notable number of current modern Persian poets who had borrowed from “linguistically authoritative” poets, one can understand Shāmlu’s lingual efficiency as his lingual authority to which many later modern poets subscribed.  \nMoreover, Shāmlu was the poet whose lingual structure had the highest rate of subscribers.  \n- Shāmlu appears as a poet with intuition and insight. Although all poets in particular as all human beings have insight and intuition, especially vis-à-vis what the world is and how it works, Shāmlu emerges as a poet whose oeuvre practically engages with such concerns. More importantly, one can always find the continuation of his worldview in almost all of his works crafted throughout his life and at different stages, highlighting his fixed critical engagement with similar concerns throughout his literary life. Eventually, such critical prowess concentrates and then materializes in the form of poems, inviting other scholars to escape critical marginalia and scattered reasoning","cbCaivBxVgR7FgPm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivBxVgR7FgPm","pdf",319687,"English","# Introduction\n## Shāmlu’s distinctive language and linguistic authority\n## Poetic intuition and critical engagement\n## Creative artistry and literary underpinnings\n# Article focus and argumentative claim\n## Criticism versus judging history\n## Innovation as intellectual and linguistic\n## Two features that may endanger popularity","[{\"question\":\"Why is Ahmad Shāmlu described as a neoclassical figure in modern Persian poetry?\",\"answer\":\"He is portrayed as having a distinctive structural quality and influential poetic character that functions as a historico-literary marker in modern Persian literature.\"},{\"question\":\"What criticism does the article level against some responses to Shāmlu’s work?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that critics should not judge history by declaring a contemporary work immortal, a stance contrasted with the claims of Shāmlu’s enthusiastic admirers.\"},{\"question\":\"Which two aspects of Shāmlu’s poetry are examined as possible threats to future popularity?\",\"answer\":\"The article says it examines two characteristics that could endanger the popularity of his poems, first exploring the poet’s authoritative position toward the audience, and then the relationship of humans with nature.\"}]","Outdated Humanism and Literary Authority as Threats to the Popularity of Ahmad Shāmlu’s Poetry - Article | PDF",1792068326]
