{"product_id":"the-ghazal-eros-shad-naved-9788196580315","title":"The Ghazal Eros: Lyric Queerness in History","description":"The old ghazal, i.e. the poetry of eros in Urdu, Persian and Arabic, has been read as great literature but seldom as a document of history. This book argues that there is one element - the expression of masculine passion (\u003ci\u003eʽishq\u003c\/i\u003e) for a masculine object - that has shaped the ghazal historically and across languages. The neglect of this element, which it terms lyric queerness, in mainstream cultural history and even LGBTQ studies, screens from us a lyrical corpus that was historically aware, vernacularizing, and suspicious of other-worldly interpretations and is represented here by the ghazal of the Indian subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shad Naved\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8196580312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788196580315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tulika Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Shad Naved","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451202621695,"sku":"9788196580315","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff04f18d-afc0-4ca9-89c8-fefffdf0342f.jpg?v=1735876769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghazal-eros-shad-naved-9788196580315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
