520 A major translation achievement, this anthology presents a
rich assortment of classical Arabic poems and literary
prose, from pre-Islamic times until the 18th century, with
short introductions to guide non-specialist students and
informative endnotes and bibliography for advanced
scholars. Both entertaining and informative, Classical
Arabic Literature ranges from the early Bedouin poems with
their evocation of desert life to refined urban lyrical
verse, from tender love poetry to sonorous eulogy and
vicious lampoon, and from the heights of mystical rapture
to the frivolity of comic verse. Prose selections include
anecdotes, entertaining or edifying tales and parables, a
fairy-tale, a bawdy story, samples of literary criticism,
and much more. With this anthology, distinguished Arabist
Geert Jan van Gelder brings together well-known texts as
well as less familiar pieces new even to scholars.
Classical Arabic Literature reveals the rich variety of
pre-modern Arabic social and cultural life, where secular
texts flourished alongside religious ones. This masterful
anthology introduces this vibrant literary heritage--
including pieces translated into English for the first
time--to a wide spectrum of new readers.
