The text is representative of a poetic tradition which has remained remarkably close to the desert poetry of the early classical age. An extensive glossary, including detailed cross-references to the classical Arabic vocabulary, completes this edition.\u003cbr\u003eThe introduction describes Dindān's somewhat anomalous position in local society as a result of his stubborn attachment to nomadism, his fierce artistic temper, and his unreconstructed bedouin ethos. It also discusses the composition of oral poetry, the \u003ci\u003edīwān\u003c\/i\u003e's themes and its place in the Najdi tradition, the impact of literacy on the poet's oral work, and the prosodic and linguistic features of the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Kurpershoek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900452097X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004520974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Marcel Kurpershoek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072566096127,"sku":"9789004520974","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11bfa513-a91d-4cb0-8e50-606c1205986b.jpg?v=1685442737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oral-poetry-and-narratives-from-marcel-kurpershoek-9789004520974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
