Abstract

Evolutions and their reflection in aspects of the society are as pivots of the system moved parallelly, from ancient time, political and social evolutions in society have reflected nearly in culture and literature of society. The modern era started in Iran since constitutional era (awakening era), in addition to political area and sovereignty, it manifested in literature of the Iran in that time. Some of poets who played a role of undertaker and didn’t ignore problems, deficiencies and today’s issues; they looked forward to systematic and influential innovations in development of literary modernity in Iran. Poets knew new horizons opened for audiences of this era and they believed evolution and literary modernity due to disconformities existed in ancient literature and modern perspectives. In the modern era, they knew Saadi (Saadi’s works) as a complete representative of the Persian ancient literature; therefore, we witness criticism and biases to great extent against his works and thoughts. We have analyzed reader’s reactions toward Saadi’s works and thoughts by Hans Robert Jauss’s Horizon of Expectation theory who is one of the founder of the school of reader-centered criticism. Therefore, in each era, the audiences’ horizon of expectation changes in society with regard to status que in the society and the most important reason of the literary isolation in Saadi’s works (Saadi’s sonnets) in modern era is the same disconformity of the audiences’ horizon of expectation with Saadi's works and thoughts.
