Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Celebrated Romance of the Stealing of the Mare: Translated From the Original Arabic Mance of Abu Zeyd, which has remained popular in Egypt and North Africa for, it is a irmed, over 800 years. Of its author, as of Homer, nothing but his name, Abu Obeyd, is known. He is said to have lived in the third century of Islam, say the tenth of our era, a little after the events which the main portion of the Epic describes, and there is sufficient internal evidence to suggest that he was a native of Cairo, both in the Egyptian dialect used, and in the numerous allusions made to the Nile and to Egyptian customs and superstitions. As an historic document the romance of Abu Zeyd would seem to be of no great value, hardly more than are the Songs of Roland and the Morte d'arthur of contemporary Europe; that is to say, it rests on a thin basis of fact so overlaid with imaginative episodes, that the truth is impossible now to distinguish from the fiction. All that can be said to be historically certain is, that the Tribe of the Beni Helal, whose adventures it records, did through stress of famine migrate, about the end of the ninth or the beginning of the tenth century, from Central Arabia to Egypt; that it besieged and captured Belbeis, a frontier town of the Delta, and remained in the Eastern Egyptian desert for upwards of a generation, and that then it once again marched west V11ward to the conquest of Tunis, Where it finally estab lished itself, and where its descendants may still be found. The main fact of this march of the Beni Helal is at any rate a living event in Arab tradition. When crossing the Great Nefud of Northern Arabia in 1879, the translators of the present work had pointed out to them a track locally known as the Road of the Helalat; and further west, in 1881, they found a similar tradition in regard to the group of hills lying between Gaza and Suez, and which has for its name the Jebel Helal. More over, the Howeytat Bedouins of Eastern Egypt, whose district adjoins Belbeis, have constantly affirmed to them their kinship with the historic tribe, though their claim is not admitted by other Bedouins, who give them a much less noble pedigree.

Download or read book The Collected Letters of William Morris Volume IV written by William Morris and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes bring to a close the only comprehensive edition of the surviving correspondence of William Morris (1834-1896), a protean figure who exerted a major influence as poet, craftsman, master printer, and designer. Volumes III and IV, taken together, give in detail the comments and observations that articulate his problematic political and artistic stands and equally problematic position within the aesthetic movement as it developed in the 1890s. Most eloquently voiced also are the complexities of his troubled marriage and his devotion to his epileptic daughter, Jenny, and his other daughter, May. But dominating all these themes, organizing and structuring them, are the Kelmscott Press and the building of Morris's important library of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. The letters record the way in which the Press becomes not only the center of Morris's aesthetic ambitions and achievements but also the site for his closest human relations and for much of his connecting with the makers of early modernism. The letters in Volumes III and IV are thoroughly annotated, and through texts and notes provide a new assessment of Morris's career. Included also, as appendices to Volume IV, are two important documents: the first, never before published, is F. S. Ellis's Valuation List of Morris's library, made after Morris's death, and the second, never before reprinted, is the text of what was to be Morris's final essay on socialism, published in April 1896. Originally published in 1996. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download or read book Translation and the Manipulation of Difference written by Tarek Shamma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation and the Manipulation of Difference explores the question of difference in translation and offers an extended critique of the advocacy of foreignizing translation as a practice that does not minimize the alterity of the foreign text, and could therefore serve as an antidote to ethnocentrism and cultural insularity. Shamma examines the reception of Arabic literature - especially the Arabian Nights - in nineteenth-century England and offers a detailed analysis of the period's major translations from Arabic: by Edward Lane, Richard Burton and Wilfred Blunt. He demonstrates that the long, complicated history of interaction, often confrontation, between Europe and the Arab World, where (mis)representations of the Other were intricately embroiled with political struggles, provides a critical position from which to examine the crucial role of context, above and beyond the textual elements of the translation, in shaping the political effects of translation. Examining translation techniques and decisions in the context of the translators' own goals as well as the conditions that surrounded the reception of their work, the study shows how each translator 'manipulated' his original in line with political positions that ranged from (implicit) acquiescence to steadfast resistance to colonialism. In a carefully elaborated critique of totalizing positions, the author argues that the foreignizing-domesticating model is too limited to describe the social and political function of translation and calls for a more complex understanding of the sociopolitical dimensions of translation strategies.

Download or read book The Letters of Philip Webb written by John Aplin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-30 with total page 1600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Webb (1831-1915) was a British architect known as a founder of the Arts and Crafts movement and also a key member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. He was an important figure in the literary and artistic world of the late-nineteenth century. Webb had a long association, both professionally and personally, with William Morris and his family as well as becoming treasurer of Morris's revolutionary Socialist League. They first met as trainees in the same architect's practice and remained collaborators throughout their lifetimes. Webb was responsible for the design of the hugely influential Red House, the Morris's first home. It was through Morris that Webb became connected with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones, amongst others. Webb and Morris were also joint founders of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), the first organization to promote conservation rather than intrusive restoration. This comprehensive selection from Webb's surviving letters includes many important and previously unpublished letters to some of his closest associates. They reveal the wide range of his professional and personal interests. These four volumes will be of interest to art and architecture historians, scholars of Victorian history in general and of William Morris and the wider Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements in particular.
