Abstract

The conventional interpretation of Parvin E'tesami's poems is that she was, in terms of structure and content, attached to the previous poetic tradition and took step in the path of her predecessors; but her humanitarian attitude and her compassionate to the poor people and social concerns in general, for instance, are more highlighted in comparison to the ancestors and are rooted in Parvin's individual nature and her femininity. It has been tried, in present essay, to show that Parvin was synchronous with her past poetic tradition in terms of structure and form, but she has reflected, in terms of thought and poetic content, the voice of the contemporary liberal philosophers. Therefore, she pioneered many other poets, in modernization. One of the main development sources of such strong thoughts is the impact of Marx's ideas on her. Like any other poet, parvin has reflected to the events and ideas of her living period and has evolved her poetry in relation to them. It has been tried, in present essay, to show that Parvin might have both historically and socially been familiar to Marx's ideas, and her poems are full of Marxist concepts..
