Abstract
Sociology of Litterature is one of the branches of sociology which has not been developed in Iran aptly in spite of a long literary tradition and a plenty of literary works which have been created in Persian literature both theoretically and Expirically. From a theoretical viewpoint, sociology of literary genres and sociological approaches to literary works have not been defined and classified clearly in our tradition; therefore, a few deliberate theoretical works were produced in this respect. Expirically, most researches have been merely limited to Jong story (and indulgently to novel) dna other literary genres have been neglected generally. In this article, the writer wants to show that any literary genre enjoys its own charachteristics which should be considered by sociologists when analyzing the literary genres sociologically.
