Abstract :
Mirza Hassan Kaffash Isfahani is a poet of the 13th century AH and the period of literary revival. A poetry collection consisting of ghazals and odes, several short untitled masnavis, and a long masnavi called Zinatat al-Anjaman has survived from Kaffash Isfahani. Which has not been corrected yet. In this article, the stylistics of Mirza Hassan Kaffash Isfahani's poetry was examined in a descriptive-analytical manner at the literary level and was reviewed and analyzed with the aim of achieving the literary characteristics that dominate this poet's poetry. For this purpose, the frequent imagery and literary devices of his poetry, which have stylistic value, were mentioned. The results of the research show that Kaffash Isfahani's poetry is fluent and simple. He experimented with different poetic forms and was influenced by great poets such as Ferdowsi, Saadi, and Hafez, and he guaranteed their poems and verses in his poetry. In his poetry, direct, detailed, singular, and eloquent similes, as well as various types of metaphor, allusion, and allegory, are highly frequent. The frequent use of repetition, proportion, contrast, exaggeration, and allusion are other prominent literary features of his poetry.
