Identification and Identity in Classical Arab Poetry Hardback
by M. C. Lyons
Part of the Gibb Memorial Trust Arabic Studies series
Hardback
Description
In early Arabic poetry, poets mostly speak in the first person - a point which sets their tradition apart from most other civilisations.
This study investigates the characteristic poetic roles found in the works of thirty seven poets dating from the pre-Islamic to the Abbasid period, to which are added specimens of Spanish Arabic lyric poetry and the popular poetry of Baghdad.
