DESCRIPTION:The first substantial amount of classical Persian 
 poetry dates from  the 11th century. A large part 
 of the poetry that has come down to us has been co
 mposed for the Ghaznavid and Saljuq dynasties (11t
 h-12th century)\, who ruled semi-independently ove
 r large territories of the eastern caliphate\, in 
 Khurasan and Central Asia. The poetry of this peri
 od has been of vital importance for the developmen
 t of a flourishing poetical tradition in the centu
 ries to follow. I would like to focus in the lectu
 re on the representations of court life in Ghaznav
 id and Saljuq court poetry\,  in particular on the
  ways Islamic and pre-Islamic feasts come to the f
 ore in Ghaznavid and Saljuq poetry.
