BeihaghisCriticism of His Agethrough Mentioning Poems from Others

Despotism and tyranny of the governments leave no opportunity for free expression and criticism; as a result, the committed writers try to implement styles to express their beliefs indirectly. In Beihaghi’sHistory, the writer tries to select, deliberately and consciously, poems from other poets in order to arouse readers’ emotions and to -indirectly- criticize Masoud’s government. Based on the examination of the inter-textual and infra-textual signs,this study aims at analyzing the associations of these signs on the paradigmatic axis to arrive at a new understanding OF Beihaghi’s History.
