A Comparative Study of Romantic Themes in the Poetry of Fereydoon Moshiri and Nizar Qabbani

Basically، the comparative study of literary works is possible through two schools، the French and the American. In the American school a critic studies and analyzes the works of two authors or poets regardless of the concept of influence. In this school the existence of common concepts and themes is regarded as sufficient ground for a comparative analysis. If the two poets concerned are contemporary، like Qabbani and Khalil Matran، the study would be called a balance، and if the comparison involves the style and diction of two poets of different languages، like Qabbani and Moshiri، the study would be called a comparison. Thus، the current study compares the romantic poems of Nizar Qabbani and Fereydoon Moshiri focusing on their common romantic themes and notions.
