The Vagaries of the Qasidah, Paperback / softback Book

The Vagaries of the Qasidah Paperback / softback

Part of the Gibb Memorial Trust Arabic Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

A study of the tradition and practice of early Arabic poetry, this book provides an investigation of the multiple versions of early poems that exist in various Abbasid collections.

It offers a corrective to the more exaggerated claims concerning this poetry and revises some hitherto fundamental attitudes by advancing an individual philologically-driven vision of the period.
