Beyond Elegy: Classical Arabic Women's Poetry in Context
ISBN: 9780197264720 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume tackles complex theoretical questions about sex and gender and the way that they inform classical Arabic poetics.

Dr Hammond argues that these elegies - marthiya - were received into the literary canon because they echoed the familiar male paradigm of the qas?da, or the heroic ode, while at the same time recasting its spatial and temporal axes from a feminine authorial stance. The volume then moves on to consider women's compositions in non-elegiac genres, such as invective...
