About

At the beginning the publisher aimed to provide a forum for literary, scholarly, historical and political exchanges, as well as for the spread of information.[2] The published articles were primarily written or translated by E'tesam-al-Molk himself.[3] Editor-in-chief of the first volume was Mirza Reza Khan Modabber-al-Mamalek, the later editor of Tamaddon (1920). Abbas Khalili, who also published Eqdām newspaper (1921), acted as editor-in-chief of the second volume.[4][1]

Under Khalili, the publication of literary topics and translations of European literature increased. Well-known examples include works of Victor Hugo and Rousseau as well as Lermontov's "Demon".[3] Discussions of contemporary Persian literature and literary criticism became increasingly popular among readers.
