The contribution of Even Zohar’s (1978/2012) polysystem theory to our understanding of the position of translated literature in the Persian literary system is crucial, though the theory has some shortcomings. In fact, by using a single approach - regardless of how appropriate it may be - it is impossible to accurately examine the position of translated literature in the literary polysystem of any language. Hence, it must be investigated with a “multifaceted approach” to help eliminate the polysystem theory’s shortcomings. In this article, we critique some fundamental principles of polysystem theory by examining the position of notable translated literature cases within the Persian literary polysystem, highlighting the theory’s shortcomings and limitations in terms of external validity. The findings indicated that the most important flaws in this theory are a lack of attention to the role of the readers’ reception, a disregard for translation movements, and the agency of academics, translators, and patrons as determining factors in the position of translated literature. Hence, it is necessary to integrate the above facets into the polysystem theory to determine the position of translated literature in the literary polysystem of each language.
