Bahar (magazine)

Bahar (Persian: بهار; DMG: Bahār; English: "Spring") was a Persian-language magazine founded in Tehran, Iran, in 1910 by Mirza Yusof Khan Ashtiani, a Persian poet and journalist. It was published monthly in two volumes (April 1910 – October 1911 and April 1921 –December 1922) in 17 or 16 editions.

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. The published articles were primarily written or translated by E'tesam-al-Molk himself. 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 [Fa] newspaper (1921), acted as editor-in-chief of the second volume.

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". Discussions of contemporary Persian literature and literary criticism became increasingly popular among readers.
