Persian Poets in Turkish Palaces During the Seljuk Period


When the Seljuks made Persian a language of literature, Persian entered its golden era. With the development and spreading of Persian language and literature during this period strong writers and poets emerged outside of Iran and especially in Iraq and Azerbaijan. The Seljuk sultans showed an interest in Persian poetry and protected and encouraged the poets and writers writing in this language. With the same effort coming from the Seljuk leaders and commanders, Persian poetry reached its pinnacle. Turkish rulers carried out the same leadership that they displayed in every civil advancement and helped in the development of Persian culture by fulfilling their responsibilities towards Persian people.
