        The 16th and 17th centuries witness the emergence of Classicism or Traditionalism in western literature, when great poets and authors like Molière and Jean Racine imitate the Greek and Latin works. Similarly, there rose in early twentieth century in Arabic literature such a movement under the name of “Harekatol Ehya” (Recreation Movement). In Persian Literature, “Bazgasht-e Adabi” or “Literary Return Period” is also a move­ment for a return to writing poetry in the classic styles which began in mid-18th century. It seems that the literature in those three periods needed to once again return to and review its heritage. This study aims at tracing back the origins of these three movements to comparatively find out the commonalities with respect to their principles, introspective bases, aestheticism, and techniques of eloquence. Moreover, it is explored the reasons why the poets of these three periods craved for the grace and glory of their precedents.  Manuscript profile
