Description

This comprehensive comparative study examines compositional and stylistic techniques in medieval Arabic and Persian lyric poetry across seven countries, analysing works by over thirty poets from the Islamic world spanning Spain to Afghanistan. The book explores how rich poetic traditions demonstrate both continuity and development through a wide variety of compositional strategies, investigating principles of structural organisation, rhetorical figures, metaphor and imagery. Detailed poetic analyses reveal the intricate connections between form and meaning that characterise Islamic lyric verse, offering scholars and students of Middle Eastern literature an essential resource for understanding the aesthetic foundations and cultural significance of these foundational poetic traditions.
