Abstract

The course of satirical writing in Iran is closely related to political history. In the periods when poets and writers have benefited from relative freedom, satirical writing has also grown more. During the Seljuk period, when the government was in an intermediate political position - that is, neither absolute tyranny nor populist government - the course of satirical writing, like the literature of that period, had a completely different and perfected state. In this period, on the one hand, there are many courts and free from tyranny, and on the other hand, at the same time, publicism dominates the kings and people, and education in the society has expanded and has created a variety of styles and voices in the creators of poetry and prose. And in the third level, poets and writers have been abandoned by the government and have benefited greatly from freedom of action. With the progress of literature, numerous satirists have emerged with different and innovative styles and methods, the example of which is not seen in any other period until the constitutional period as a period with complete freedom. The development of humor in this period is more intellectual and content-oriented and has two popular trends such as lampoon and facetiousnes and literary jokes, and special trends such as philosophical, sectarian and mystical satires. Composing odes with a combination of satire, humor and praise, and boldly suspicious poems and humorous narratives of insane intellectuals, has given a different atmosphere to poems and divans in this period.
