Combining a sociological approach to literature with detailed close readings, Yasmine Ramadan explores the spatial representations that embodied this shift within the Egyptian literary scene and the disappearance of an idealized nation in the Egyptian novel. This study provides a robust examination of the emergence and establishment of some of the most significant writers in modern Egyptian literature, and their influence across six decades, while also tracing the social, economic, political and aesthetic changes that marked this period in Egypt's contemporary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasmine Ramadan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474427642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474427647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Yasmine Ramadan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088351768831,"sku":"9781474427647","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14c5bec4-786b-43f5-8ed4-38ca3ed15dcc.jpg?v=1769104358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-in-modern-egyptian-fiction-yasmine-ramadan-9781474427647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
