摘要:
"This book gives a rounded and balanced view of Arab literary creativity, past and present. Because it assumes no previous knowledge of Arabic or of its literary conventions, it is accessible to the first year student of the subject, and even to the inquisitive general reader who has no intention of becoming a specialist. Yet it has features that ought to stimulate interest among established scholars as well. 'High' literature is examined alongside popular folk literature (long ignored by Arab scholars and Arabists alike), and the classical and modern periods, usually treated separately, are presented together.
Cachia's observations are not subordinated to any pre-formed literary theory, but describe and illustrate the directions taken and results achieved, whether these conform to Western norms or strike out along distinctive lines. The book does not claim to have the last word on contentious issues, but it does indicate where the debate may be followed and where new research is being undertaken. It presents an overall picture of the field of relevance to the student of literature as well as to Arabists working in related fields."--BOOK JACKET.
