Abstract :

Romanticism literary school is one of the first influential European literary schools on contemporary Persian art and literature. The appropriateness of this literary school with the spirit of Iranian poets and writers, the desire for modernism and the political and social situation of Iran after the Mashroteh constitutional revolution is one of the most effective and important factors in the expansion of the romantic attitude in contemporary Persian literature. Due to the expansion of political, social and economic relations between the East and the West, at the end of the 19th century AD, it first influenced the Arabic language and literature, and then, after the Mashroteh constitutional revolution, in the 20th century, in a branch of Persian literature in Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan left many influences and produced poems with the characteristics of European romanticism. Layeq Sherali, one of the Persian-language poets of Tajikistan, was somehow influenced by this school during his poetic period, and brought Tajik Persian poetry closer to European romanticism during its period of popularity. In this Research, the author tries to analyze the types of romanticism in the poems of this Tajik poet in a descriptive-analytical way and based on romanticism components. The results of the research show that in Layeq Sherali's poems, the components of the school of individual romanticism can be seen, and Layeq paid much attention to humanity and altruism in creating the spirit of patriotism and national unity and idealism by composing patriotic poems, and He has used topics such as naturalism, introversion and loneliness, sadness and longing, nostalgia, hope and despair in his poetry.
