A research on Psychological Reviews carried out light of the Slavic school

Abstract

Psychology School is one of the schools of literary criticism, and it has been adopted in researches conducted by Arabic critics such as Zaki Mobarak and Iranian critics such as Abdolhosyn Zarinkoob. This school is premised on psychology knowledge and contains many psychological terms. The critic analyzes the poet's personality (character) psychologically and by adopting this method, analyzes the poet's poems (poetry).In this paper, I investigated Zaki Mobarak's psychology school. He analyzed Sharif Razi's personality and his poems psychologically. Then Icompared it withAbdolhosein Zarinkoob's psychology school who analyzed Khaghani's personality and his poems psychologically.Both critics made use of psychological terms and avoided artistic criticism. The results of this paper indicate that, Zaki Mobarak, in his analysis of Sharif Razi's personality, found him mentally offended. Sharif Razi desired to be the greatest poet of Arab and harbored grudge against the people of his time; and he was sincere in his love and his poems.Zarinkoob, in his analysis, rose up against the indecent (bitter) criticism and investigated the inferiority complex of Khaghani. Khaghani introduced himself as the greatest Persian poet and harbored grudge against the people of his time and satirized them.He acquired wide variety of knowledge in order to be different from the others. He deliberately makes use of alien and unfamiliar terms in his poetry, and his harsh language is associated with his harsh (rebellious) spirit. The purpose of this paper is to delve into the modern psychological school in the field of literary criticism adopted by these two prominent critics; Zaki Mobarak and Abdolhosein Zarinkoob.
