Yet, a common misconception seems to be prevalent in the literature as to the stylistic classification of this touchstone which ushered in a new era. Afsaneh, for which it sticks out to be more proper to be pronounced as romanticist rather than modernist in terms of its artistic features appears to be designated the other way round. Accordingly, the present study seeks to shed light on the recent misinterpreted situation of Nima Yushij's Afsaneh via scrutinizing its romanticist elements in addition to drawing the academic attention to the semantic difference between the concepts; modernist and modern.en10.21497/sefad.328624info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAfsanehromanticismmodernismmodernMODERNIST OR ROMANTICIST?
