Description

Explore the evolution of one of the world's most famous literary collections with Sheherazade Through the Looking Glass: The Metamorphosis of the 'Thousand and One Nights'. Part of the Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures series, this academic study examines how the Thousand and One Nights underwent a rebirth when introduced to an alien environment in 1704. This work investigates how the original meanings of literary signs were received and interpreted in radically different ways. It provides a deep look at the relationship between literature and its audience, examining the theory that works of literature change as the people and cultures who read them undergo their own transformations. For students and readers interested in folklore and mythology, this book offers a detailed perspective on how cultural shifts impact the life of a text.
