This paper is an attempt to better understand the social, political, economic, and cultural backgrounds of reformism and its elements and dimensions in the poems of "Ali Akbar Saber" included in the book "Hop Hop Name." Reformism in this article refers to a break from tradition or a re-evaluation of it with the aim of achieving modernity. This research is framed within the "reflection approach" and uses "qualitative content analysis" methods to analyze the texts of the poems and "library research" methods to describe and introduce the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts that shaped this tendency. The "reflection approach," along with the approaches of "shaping" and "work as a social institution," forms the three main approaches in the tradition of the sociology of literature. The concept of the reflection approach, which is the most significant trend in the sociology of literature, is that the literary work serves as a mirror reflecting social realities. The findings demonstrated that the rapid and fundamental political and social changes that began in the poet's society in the 19th century and exposed the social space to new concepts and phenomena are directly and clearly reflected in the poems included in "Hop Hop Name." Additionally, the components and dimensions of this reform and reformism were identified and explained. These components include the rule of law, dissemination of knowledge, education of girls, combating superstitions, the constitutional movement, political parties, civil rights, and more.
