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.
