  • - From Heroic to Lyric to Metapoetic
    by Jaroslav Stetkevych

    Among the world's major literary traditions, Arabic poetry is perhaps unique in that the theme of the hunt runs in a continuous, if uneven, current from the pre-Islamic, oral tradition. Through elegant translations and compelling interpretations, Jaroslav Stetkevych brings this dynamic Arabic tradition fully into the purview of contemporary cultural and humanistic studies.

    by Jaroslav Stetkevych
    £42.49

    An examination of the changes that the Arabic language has undergone in its transition from its roots in classical Arabic to a language able to meet the demands of twentieth-century life. Noting the changes in grammar and semantics, it illustrates how literary Arabic has become a more flexible language.

  • - The Poetics of Nostalgia in The Classical Arabic Nasib
    by Jaroslav Stetkevych
