Elegy as a Medium for the Indictment of Arab Culture: Death Transformed and Politicized. a Reading-Translation of Medieval and Modern Arabic Elegies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783959941747)

The book consists of a critical introduction and six chapters on two famous great medieval poems by Ibn al-Anbari and Abu Tammam, and three unique and remarkable poems by Khalil Hawi, Nizar Qabbani, and Badr Shakir al-Sayyab. The author applies a deconstructive critical interpretation (analysis) to the two medieval poems and a reading translation of the modern ones. The introduction contains new ideas on translation from Arabic into English and a new reading of the rhyme in medieval and modern Arabic poetry.
