Literary Societies in Iran

Literary societies in Iran are organized groups focused on promoting Persian literature, poetry, and intellectual discussion. Emerging during the 19th and early 20th centuries, these societies aimed to revive and modernize Persian culture, often serving as platforms for writers, poets, and scholars to share ideas, critique works, and foster cultural identity. They played a vital role in Iran’s literary renaissance, influencing social and political thought, and helped bridge traditional values with modern perspectives. These societies also contributed to the development of literary journals and educational initiatives, shaping Iran’s cultural evolution in the modern era.
