Book excerpt: Though the characteristics of pre-Islamic ghazal have often been summarily discussed, its development and evolution in the early period of Islam and the Umayyad age have not hitherto received the attention they deserve and it is hoped that this thesis will form a contribution to the subject and to the study of Arabic literature generally. It is claimed, despite objections which have been raised, that pre-Islamic poetry is authentic. This study shows that pagan ghazal reflected the life of its composers, their environment and the social life of the time. It was composed by people whose personality was not divided by religion into soul and body; who understood love as youthful dalliance, who did not separate it from pleasure, and who enjoyed it as much as their desert, tribal life, and lack of culture allowed. Islam brought about great changes. As far as emotional life was concerned, it became richer, deeper, and more intense. Conversly it brought about a strict morality which stopped the development of ghazal for a while. Thereafter ghazal could not begin developing again before the Omayyad period when the grasp of religion relaxed somewhat. Then the traditional ghazal flourished again over the Arabian country, except in Hijaz where wealth, idleness, and particular political and social conditions gave birth to the Omarit ghazal which sacrificed true love for pleasure, and united music to poetry. As a reaction against this tendency and as a compromise between love and religion, the 'Udhri ghazal came to life. Its authors took a sacrificial pleasure in unrequited love. These and other features are illustrated and discussed. This study, in a way, shows the development of women's status before and after Islam and the development of the emotional life of the Arabs during the three early periods of their history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literary-historical book draws out and sheds light upon the mechanisms of "the ideological work" that the Arabic Majnūn Laylā story performed for ‘Abbāsid urbanite, imperial audiences in the wake of the disappearance of the "Bedouin cosmos." The study focuses upon the processes of primitivizing Majnūn in the romance of Majnūn Laylā as part of the paradigm shift that occurred in the ‘Abbāsid empire after the Greco-Arabian intellectual revolution. Moreover, this book demonstrates how gender and sexuality are employed in the processes of primitivizing Majnūn. As markers of "strangeness" and "foreignness" in the ‘Abbāsid interrogations of the multiple categories of ethnicity, culture, identity, religion and language present in their cosmopolitan milieus. Such "cultural work" is performed through the ideological uses of alterity given its mechanisms of distancing (e.g., temporal and spatial) and nearness (e.g., affective). Lastly, the Majnūn Laylā love story demonstrates, in its text and reception, that a Greco-Arabian and Greco-Persian subculture thrived in the centers of ‘Abbāsid Baghdad that molded and shaped the ways in which this love story was compiled, received and performed. Offering a corrective to the prevailing views expressed in Western scholarly writings on the Greco-Arabian encounter, this book is a major contribution to scholars and students interested in Islamic studies, Arabic and comparative literature, Middle East and gender studies.
Download or read book Arabic Materials in English Translation written by Margaret Anderson and published by Hall Reference Books. This book was released on 1980 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography, of over 1600 items, represents for the most part English language translations of original Arabic works. A few of the transaltions listed here, most notably of those of writings by Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Galen, are not originally Arabic, but are translations made of Arabic editions....The aim of the compilaiton is two-fold: first, to provide both students and the general public with an interest in the Arab world (but with little or no facility in the Arabic language), as full a listing of translated Arabic materials as possible; and also to provide for those doing research in such fields as history and history of science, political science, comparative religion, comparative literature, and law, and touching on the Arab world only occasionally, with a partial substitute for the original materials whose language they have had no previous need to master.
