Books by Elizabeth (University of Leeds Sirriyeh

In her authoritative new book, Elizabeth Sirriyeh offers the first concerted history of the rise of dream interpretation in Islamic culture, from medieval times to the present.

This volume assesses the evolution of anti-Sufism since the mid-18th century and Sufi strategies for survival. It also considers the efforts of a few significant Muslim intellectuals to contemplate a future for a mystical approach to Islam without traditional Sufism.
