Olga M. Davidson applies comparative literary approaches to classical Persian traditions of composing and performing poetry and song. She focuses on the eleventh-century CE epic Shāhnāma and its relationship to other genres embedded in it, including forms of verbal art originally composed without the aid of writing, such as women's laments.
