Through an interdisciplinary lens that incorporates literary studies, digital humanities and critical theory, this book investigates how Arabic e-lit is shaped by its historical, cross-cultural and sociopolitical contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first chapter uncovers the classical precursors of e-lit, while subsequent chapters tackle the challenges and potential of this emerging field, including language barriers and the digital divide. A unique annotated bibliography serves as a resource for analysing Arabic e-lit, and a new classification framework is proposed to better understand its diverse forms. The book also adopts a cultural materialist perspective to explore the dynamics of Arabic social media texts and examines cross-cultural digital literary approaches by comparing Arabic and American e-lit works. Finally, the conclusion anticipates the future of Arabic e-lit in the age of artificial intelligence. This book is essential reading for scholars, students and enthusiasts of digital literature and Middle Eastern studies, offering fresh insights into a rapidly evolving literary landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reham Hosny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501376462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501376467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Reham Hosny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587773640959,"sku":"9781501376467","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arabicelit-reham-hosny-9781501376467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
