Literary criticism and comparative literature
Zarrinkoob wrote comparative literature and Persian literary criticism in his book "Naqd-e Adabi" (نقد ادبی, "Literary Criticism").
Rumi and Erfan
Zarrinkoub also researched the Persian poet Molana Jalaleddin Balkhi (Rumi) and his works. Zarrinkoub's "Serr-e Ney" (سرّ نی, "Secret of the Reed") and "Bahr dar Koozeh" (بحر در کوزه, "Sea in a Jug") are critical and comparative analysis of Rumi's Masnavi. "Pelleh-Pelleh ta Molaqat-e Khuda" (پلهپله تا ملاقات خدا, "Step by Step until Visiting God") is also a work he carried out on the same line.
Zarrinkoub's research works on Hafez and Persian mysticism resulted in several books: "Az Kuche-ye Rendan" (از کوچهٔ رندان) and "Arzesh-e Miras-e Sufiyeh" (ارزش میراث صوفیه) are a few examples.
History of Persia
Zarrinkoub wrote "Two Centuries of Silence" (دو قرن سکوت)[2] on Islamic history and Ruzegaran (روزگاران) (The Ages) (Iran's history from the beginning to the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty),[3] which covers the 3,000-year history of Iran since the Aryans migrated to the Iranian plateau.
