Description

Explore a fresh perspective on Middle Eastern culture through this scholarly work from the Orientology series. This book provides an original interpretation of poetics by analyzing ancient and classical Arabic literature, including the Qur'an, directly from within the Arabic literary tradition. While many studies view this period through a purely philological lens, this text moves beyond the idea that Arabic poetry is merely materialistic or lacks imagination. It examines the unique relationship between poetry and prose, noting that while prose forms emerged later, they have historically existed in the shadow of poetic creative efforts. This book is an essential resource for understanding the deep connection between literary forms and the broader aspects of Arab culture and civilization.
