Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Arabic poetry is notoriously difficult for a range of reasons. It is the work of people of a very alien milieu - the great composers were camel-dependent nomads. It has an extraordinarily rich vocabulary. Its grammar has many complications that do not survive in the later language. Its texts were transmitted orally for up to two-and-a-half centuries and there are serious problems about authenticity. Yet, later poetry stems from it, and it is important for our understanding of the language and ideas current in Arabia at the rise of Islam. It therefore cannot be avoided by serious students. After an introduction covering the major background problems, this book - originally published in 1992 and now reprinted - analyzes fifteen poems in minute detail and provides the student with all the information needed to understand the texts and the accompanying translation, considering each poem's overall thrust and purpose. The poems are taken from two of the more vivid genres - laments and poems by outlaws. Following the commentaries, the translations and texts are printed again in separate sections, to allow for further study without the notes.

Download or read book Early Islamic Poetry and Poetics written by Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a set of key studies on classical Arabic poetry (ca. 500-1000 C.E.), published over the last thirty-five years; the individual articles each deal with a different approach, period, genre, or theme. The major focus is on new interpretations of the form and function of the pre-eminent classical poetic genre, the polythematic qasida, or Arabic ode, particularly explorations of its ritual, ceremonial and performance dimensions. Other articles present the typology and genre characteristics of the short monothematic forms, especially the lyrical ghazal and the wine-poem. After thus setting out the full poetic genres and their structures, the volume turns in the remaining studies to the philological, rhetorical, stylistic and motival elements of classical Arabic poetry, in their etymological, symbolic, historical and comparatist dimensions. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych's Introduction places the articles within the context of the major critical and methodological trajectories of the field and in doing so demonstrates the increasing integration of Arabic literary studies into contemporary humanistic scholarship. The Selected Bibliography complements the Introduction and the Articles to offer the reader a full overview of the past generation of Western literary and critical scholarship on classical Arabic poetry.

Download or read book Arabic Poems written by Marle Hammond and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bilingual anthology of poems from the sixth century to the present, Arabic Poems is a one-of-a-kind showcase of a fascinating literary tradition. The Arabic poetic legacy is as vast as it is deep, spanning a period of fifteen centuries in regions from Morocco to Iraq. Themes of love, nature, religion, and politics recur in works drawn from the pre-Islamic oral tradition through poems anticipating the recent Arab Spring. Editor Marlé Hammond has selected more than fifty poems reflecting desire and longing of various kinds: for the beloved, for the divine, for the homeland, and for change and renewal. Poets include the legendary pre-Islamic warrior ‘Antara, medieval Andalusian poet Ibn Zaydun, the mystical poet Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyya, and the influential Egyptian Romantic Ahmad Zaki Abu Shadi. Here too are literary giants of the past century: Khalil Jibran, author of the best-selling The Prophet; popular Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani; Palestinian feminist Fadwa Tuqan; Mahmoud Darwish, bard of occupation and exile; acclaimed iconoclast Adonis; and more. In their evocations of heroism, nostalgia, mysticism, grief, and passion, the poems gathered here transcend the limitations of time and place.
