1Ce volume résulte d’une conférence donnée à Exeter en 2007. À part un court avant-propos du regretté Peter Avery (décédé en 2008), et une première section grandiloquente par Lewisohn, qui donne un aperçu du contexte, ‘Ḥāfiẓ in the Socio-historical, Literary and Mystical Milieu of Medieval Persia’ (p. 3-73), il contient neuf articles, de valeur très inégale, répartis entre trois sections. Dans l’ordre du livre: section II, ‘Hāfiẓ and the School of Love in Classical Persian Poetry’ : Husayn Ilahi Ghomshei, ‘The Principles of the Religion of Love in Classical Persian Poetry’ (p. 77-106) ; Ali Asghar Seyed-Gohrab, ‘The Erotic Spirit: Love, Man and Satan in Ḥāfiẓ’s poetry’ (p. 107-21) ; Leili Anvar, ‘The Radiance of Epiphany: The Vision of Beauty and Love in Ḥāfiẓ’s Poem of Pre-Eternity’ (p. 123-39). Section III, ‘Ḥāfiẓ and the Persian Sufi Tradition’ : Charles-Henri de Fouchécour, ‘Ḥāfiẓ and the Sufi’ (p. 143-57) ; L. Lewisohn, ‘The Religion of Love and the Puritans of Islam: Sufi Sources of Ḥāfiẓ’s Anti-clericalism’ (p. 159-96) ; Carl W. Ernst, ‘Jalāl al-Dīn Davānī’s Interpretation of Ḥāfiẓ’ (p. 197-210). Section IV, ‘Ḥāfiẓ’s Romantic Imagery and Language of Love’ : Michael Barry, ‘The Allegory of Drunkenness and the Theophany of the Beloved in Sixteenth-Century Illustrations of Ḥāfiẓ’ (p. 213-226) ; James Morris, ‘Transfiguring Love: Perspective Shifts and the Contextualization of Experience in the Ghazals of Ḥāfiẓ’ (p. 227-50) ; Franklin Lewis, ‘The Semiotic Horizons of Dawn in the Poetry of Ḥāfiẓ’ (p. 251-77) ; Parvin Loloi, ‘Ḥāfiẓ and the Language of Love in Nineteenth-Century English and American Poetry’ (p. 279-94). Chaque article a ses propres notes en fin de document, mais la bibliographie est cumulative.
