Abstract

Nafta al-Masdoor Zaidi Neswi is one of the most important and valuable works of Persian prose, which is of great importance from various dimensions such as the type of prose, the discourses projected in it, aesthetical values and the specific historical period in which the work appeared. The issue that can be raised here is the nature of the impact of historical and contemporary aesthetic developments with the creation of the book Nafta-al-Masdoor and the pottery of the Khwarezmshahi period. The theoretical basis of this research is the evolution of the philosophy of literature and different definitions of the nature of literature, diverse definitions that lead to various theories and insights in criticism and research. If we consider literature and art as a tool that directly reflects society and has an impact on society, the study of these works becomes important. The present research has been accomplished by descriptive and analytical methods and relying on the data of library resources. Findings indicate that the uncertain political, economic and cultural conditions of the Khwarezmshahi period have influenced the creation of a literary work such as Nafta al-Masdoor and the pottery of this period in terms of structure and aesthetics.

Research aims:
1. Recognizing the effect of aesthetic, cognitive and historical developments of the Khwarezmshahi period on the book Nafsah al-Masdoor al-Naswi.
2. Analyzing the relationship between the historical developments of the Khwarezmshahi period and pottery in this period.

Research questions:
1. What is the reflection of the aesthetic and historical developments of the Khwarezmshahi period in the book Nafsah al-Masdoor al-Naswi?
2. What effect did the historical developments of Khwarezmshahi period have on the pottery of this period?
