The article is exploring the concept of authorship in early (10th–11th century A.D.) classical Persian epic poetry, on the examples of its three representative works: Ferdousi’s Šāhnāme, Asadi’s Garšāsp-nāme and Gorgāni’s Vis-o Rāmin. As the analyzed passages show, all three authors, in spite of their works being based on the existing, traditional sources, have a strong sense of their individual authorship. They understand their role as saving pre-Islamic Iranian patrimony from oblivion, as a modernization of literary language and style and finally, as a search for their personal fame. An attempt at discovering inner senses of the inherited literary material, beyond its external meaning, seems to be another aspect of authorial creativity, as perceived by Ferdousi and Gorgāni.

Modern Persian literature can be assessed as an internally integrated system of interrelated texts which engage in mutual inspirations, dialogues and references. How it occurs is demonstrated on the example of three short stories by three 20th century authors: Hedāyat, Āl-e Ahmad and Dānešvar. The stories are connected through their common motif of a mother abandoning her child; their mutual relationship is of a dialogical and partly also polemical character.
