The relation between history and literature has been scrutinised under vari ous aspects. The interest in the overlapping field of history and histories, of facts and fiction has brought together specialists of both fields of research to dis cuss points of contact and factors of difference between historiography and belles lettres.1 Hayden White's study Tropics of Discourse2 has fuelled the discus sion about the constructive character of historiography, but we have to keep in mind that the core of the problem is not a recent discovery. The discussions about the parallels between historiography and novel-writing which lie in the es tablishment of reasonable, well founded and meaningful, but still imaginary links between isolated facts and various occurrences, have accompanied the de velopment of both genres.3 Regarding Persian literature, the question has been raised occasionally in terms of instrumentalization of Iranian history in various genres and periods. The main interest has been focussed on the problem of how national history or what is conceived as national history serves the message of the literary text, whether that is the construction of identity, the making of an image or the cri tique of contemporary socio-political conditions. Persian historical novels as a special case of the literary embedding of history have been covered in several ar ticles and monographs, but more detailed studies about literary representations
