Book Description
Written in various languages, on multiple continents, and over many centuries, Islamic literature encompasses a rich and varied body of texts. While mention is made of key historical and religious works, this volume focuses on poetry and literary prose, whether popular or courtly in inspiration. Topics covered include dominant genres, recurring patterns in imagery, the influence of pre-Islamic Arabian literature, and the periods of development that Islamic literature passed through from the seventh century CE to the present day. This insightful and wide-ranging overview introduces readers to authors such as Yunus Emre, Rumi, ?afez, and Fuzuli of Baghdad. An invaluable resource!

Book Description
The six essays of this volume, edited by Grabar (Harvard U. and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton) and Robinson (U. of New Mexico) explore a hitherto neglected aspect of Islamic art: the interaction between text and image. Among the topics are the love story Bayad wa Riyad from 13C Spain (by Robinson), Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, 17C Persian narrative of sounds, and the visual imagination in classical Arabic biography. Each essay is followed by lengthy endnotes, but the volume is not indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
The very heart of the Islamic tradition is love; no other word adequately captures the quest for transformation that lies at this tradition's center. So argues esteemed professor of medieval Islam William C. Chittick in this survey of the extensive Arabic and Persian literature on topics ranging from the Qur'an up through the twelfth century. Bringing to light extensive foundational Persian sources never before presented, Chittick draws on more than a thousand pages of newly translated material to depict the rich prose literature at the center of Islamic thought.

Book Description
This book explores the changing understandings of Islam by focusing on the Islamist movement's production of literary fiction since the early 1980s. By focusing on Islamic literary narratives of the period, this study introduces issues of change, space, history and analytical relation that are excluded by the essentialist reading of Islamism.
