Schimmel provides a comprehensive study of the complicated and highly sophisticated system of rhetoric and imagery used by the poets of Iran, Ottoman Turkey, and Muslim India. She shows that images in Persian poetry have been used and refined over the centuries and reflect changing conditions in the Muslim world.
