Description
In their effort to expand the curriculum possibilities in Literature Departments, many academics in the West are looking outside the Western canon. Once largely marginalized, Arabic literature is enjoying a marked increase in attention. Arab poets and novelists in particular have gained a justified, positive reputation. Their works have begun to make their way into Western syllabi and reading lists. Modern Arabic Literature: A Bibliography can only further develop and streamline the American and European interest that has been focused upon the significance and variety of Arabic literature. This bibliography covers all genres of literature including ballads, comedy, drama, fiction, Israeli literature, Islamic literature, biographies, Mahjar literature, poetry, prisoner writings, short stories, and studies of the theater. Books are included from every Arabic country, and most of the titles are in English, though titles in French and Arabic are also represented. In total, Modern Arabic Literature consists of 2,548 numbered entries of books, chapters in books, periodical articles, poems, and reference sources. This up-to-date and unprecedented bibliography will help the student or librarian who needs to expand their range of familiarity with world literatures.
