Description

This scholarly work offers a fresh analysis of ancient and classical Arabic literature, including the Qur'an, examined through the lens of the Arabic literary tradition itself. The book challenges traditional philological approaches that have long dismissed Arabic poetry as materialistic and lacking imagination, instead providing an original interpretation of Arabic poetics and their central place in Arab culture. By moving beyond Western-centric perspectives, the study reveals how poetry dominated ancient Arabic literature, with prose forms arriving comparatively late and remaining subordinate to poetic expression. Routledge's examination bridges classical texts and contemporary literary theory, making it essential reading for scholars of Middle Eastern literature, Islamic studies, and comparative poetics who seek a deeper understanding of how Arabian creative traditions shaped broader cultural values.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering scholarly analysis of ancient and classical Arabic literature through an indigenous Arabic literary framework rather than external philological methods.

Reexamines the Qur'an and canonical Arabic poetry to demonstrate imaginative depth and cultural sophistication that earlier Western scholarship overlooked or misrepresented.

Traces the development of prose forms in Arabic literature and explains why poetry remained the dominant creative force throughout ancient and classical periods.

Provides original interpretation of Arab culture and poetics by privileging Arabic literary tradition as the primary interpretive lens for understanding these foundational texts.
